TERIYAKI MEATBALLS

Serves 8

Ingredients

Meatballs:
2 pounds ground turkey
1/2 cup panko breadcrumbs
1 egg
2 green onions, thinly sliced
2 cloves garlic, minced
1 Tablespoon ginger, freshly grated
1 teaspoon soy sauce
1/2 teaspoon black pepper

Sauce:
1/4 cup water
1 Tablespoon cornstarch
1/4 cup soy sauce
2 Tablespoons brown sugar
1/2 teaspoon ground ginger
1/4 teaspoon garlic powder
3 Tablespoon honey
1/3 cup water
Sesame seeds, for garnish (optional)
Chopped green onions, for garnish (optional)

Directions
■ Preheat oven to 400 degrees. In a large bowl, combine ground meat, panko, eggs, green onions, garlic, ginger, soy sauce, and pepper. Using a wooden spoon or clean hands, stir until well combined.
■ Roll the mixture into 1 1/4-inch to 1 1/2-inch meatballs. Place meatballs onto baking sheet sprayed with non-stick spray and bake until golden brown and cooked through, about 20-25 minutes.
■ In a small bowl, whisk together cornstarch and 1/4 cup water; set aside.
■ In a small saucepan over medium heat, add soy sauce, brown sugar, ginger, garlic powder, honey, and 1/3 cup water; bring to a simmer. Pour the whisked cornstarch and water into mixture and stir until thickened enough to coat the back of a spoon, about 2 minutes.
■ Toss meatballs immediately with teriyaki sauce and garnish with green onions and sesame seeds, if desired.
