Teriyaki Turkey Meatballs

These were so easy to make and super yummy. Matt probably ate at least 12 of them for dinner tonight. We paired them with stir fry veggies (I had more of those) and brown rice. Had someone not devoured them like a wild lion eaten all of them, I'm sure they would have stored really well.

Ingredients

1 lb lean ground turkey

3 chopped green onions

2 inches fresh ginger

3/4 tsp minced garlic

1 tsp soy sauce

1 cup plain bread crumbs

1/2 tsp black pepper

1 egg

1 bottle teriyaki sauce

Instructions

1. Preheat oven to 400 F.
2. Cover baking sheet with foil and a light layer of non-stick spray.
3. Place ground turkey in large mixing bowl. Add in green onion, garlic, soy sauce, plain bread crumbs, black pepper, and egg.
4. Continue by grating ginger into the bowl with fine grater.
5. Mix all ingredients thoroughly (easiest to do with clean hands).
6. Separate meat mixture and form small balls, approximately the size of a ping pong ball.
7. Place balls on the cooking sheet, evenly spaced.
8. Pour a small amount of teriyaki sauce into a separate dish. Use this sauce to brush a small amount of sauce onto each meatball.
9. Bake for 40 minutes.
10. With 5-ish minutes left of baking time, warm the rest of the teriyaki sauce in medium-sized sauce pan.
11. Add meatballs to sauce after they are finished baking and stir. Allow them to sit for 1-2 minutes so sauce glazes all meatballs.
12. Serve with rice, veggies, or just plain. They even make really great appetizers. Stick a toothpick in them for easy serving and enjoy!
