Ingredients

Ingredients:

  • 1 pound ground turkey
  • 2 cloves garlic minced
  • 3 green onions diced
  • 1 egg beaten
  • 1/2 cup bread crumbs
  • 1 teaspoon kosher salt
  • 1/2 teaspoon ground ginger
  • 1 teaspoon sesame oil
  • 1 teaspoon hot oil
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil
  • 2 cloves garlic minced
  • 1 cup teriyaki marinade I like Veri Veri Teriyaki because it has sesame seeds in it
  • 1 teaspoon soy sauce
  • 1 teaspoon siracha sauce optional

Instructions

  • Combine first nine ingredients together in a bowl. Mix well. Form into about 20 meatballs.
  • Heat olive oil in a skillet over medium heat. Brown the meatballs on all sides, about 6 minutes, they will finish cooking in the sauce. Depending on the size of your pan you made need to do this in batches.
  • Combine remaining ingredients in a bowl.
  • Once the meatballs have browned, return all of them to the pan. Pour sauce over and gently stir to coat. Cover and simmer for 20-25 minutes.

Notes

I served these over jasmine rice and topped with a little green onion, but now that I am thinking about it, you can stick them with toothpicks and they might also be a good appetizer. Enjoy!
