Ingredients

  • For the Meatballs:
  • 2 pounds lean ground turkey
  • 1 cup whole wheat panko breadcrumbs
  • 2 large eggs
  • 1/4 cup green onions, finely chopped
  • 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1/2 teaspoon black pepper
  • For the Sauce:
  • 1/4 cup sriracha sauce
  • 3 tablespoons reduced-sodium soy sauce
  • 3 tablespoons rice vinegar
  • 3 tablespoons honey
  • 1 tablespoon freshly grated ginger
  • 3 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1/2 teaspoon sesame oil

Instructions

  1. Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C). Line a large baking sheet with parchment paper or lightly grease it.
  2. In a large bowl, combine ground turkey, breadcrumbs, eggs, green onions, garlic powder, salt, and black pepper. Mix until just combined.
  3. Form mixture into 1 1/2-inch meatballs (about 40 total) and arrange evenly on the baking sheet.
  4. Bake for 20–25 minutes until browned and cooked through, reaching an internal temperature of 165°F (74°C).
  5. While baking, prepare the sauce by combining sriracha, soy sauce, rice vinegar, honey, ginger, garlic, and sesame oil in a saucepan over medium heat.
  6. Bring to a gentle boil, then reduce heat and simmer 8–10 minutes until slightly thickened and glossy.
  7. Remove cooked meatballs from oven, drain excess grease if needed, and transfer to a bowl.
  8. Toss meatballs with warm honey sriracha glaze until evenly coated.
  9. Serve immediately with rice, quinoa, vegetables, or as an appetizer.

Notes

  • For a milder version, reduce sriracha and increase honey slightly.
  • To thicken the sauce further, stir in a cornstarch slurry while simmering.
  • Ground chicken can be substituted for turkey.
  • Use gluten-free breadcrumbs and tamari for a gluten-free option.
  • Store in the refrigerator up to 4 days or freeze up to 3 months.
