Honey Sriracha Turkey Meatballs

This recipe was originally featured on Eat Yourself Skinny.

Prep Time: 10 minutes Cook Time: 25 minutes Total Time: 35 minutes

Ingredients:

• Meatballs:
  • 2 lbs ground turkey
  • 1 cup breadcrumbs
  • 2 eggs
  • 1/4 cup green onion, chopped
  • 1/2 tsp garlic powder
  • 1/2 tsp salt
  • 1/2 tsp pepper
• Sauce:
  • 1/4 cup Sriracha
  • 3 Tbsp soy sauce
  • 3 Tbsp rice vinegar
  • 3 Tbsp honey
  • 1 Tbsp grated fresh ginger
  • 3 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1/2 tsp sesame oil
• Round out the meal:
  • Brown rice
  • Broccoli
  • Lime wedges
  • Cilantro

Instructions:

• Preheat oven to 375 degrees F & spray baking sheet with non-stick cooking spray.
• In a large bowl, mix together ingredients for meatballs. Shape mixture using ice cream scoop or your hands into 1 to 1 1/2 inch balls and space apart on baking sheet.
• Bake meatballs 20-25 minutes or until browned and cooked through. Meatballs should be pretty firm but not tough, and have a slight crust around the outside.
• While the meatballs are baking, combine all the ingredients for the sauce in a small saucepan and bring to a boil over medium heat. Whisk frequently. Reduce heat and simmer until sauce thickens (about 10 minutes). Toss with meatballs or drizzle overtop.
• Serve with rice, veggie, lime wedge and cilantro.

Tips & Tricks:

• This recipe makes a lot of meatballs. If you aren’t meal prepping or cooking for 1-2 people, consider making a half recipe which will still make 3-4 dinner portion meals.
• If you don’t like heat, reduce the sriracha. These have a kick as written.
