Instructions
Creating Honey Garlic Turkey Meatballs is straightforward. Follow these simple steps:
1. Preheat Oven: Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C) and prepare a baking sheet with parchment paper for easy cleanup.
2. Mix Ingredients: In a large bowl, combine ground turkey, breadcrumbs, Parmesan cheese, parsley, egg, minced garlic, salt, and pepper. Mix until combined but do not overwork the meat.
3. Form Meatballs: Using your hands, shape the mixture into 1-inch meatballs and arrange them on the prepared baking sheet.
4. Bake Meatballs: Place the baking sheet in the preheated oven and bake for about 15-18 minutes or until the meatballs are cooked through and browned.
5. Prepare Sauce: While the meatballs are baking, whisk together honey, soy sauce, rice vinegar, cornstarch, and water in a small saucepan. Bring to a simmer over medium heat, stirring until it thickens.
6. Combine Meatballs and Sauce: Once the meatballs are finished baking, remove them from the oven and carefully toss them in the honey garlic sauce until evenly coated.
7. Optional Broil: For an extra caramelized effect, broil the meatballs for an additional 2-3 minutes after coating with the sauce.
8. Garnish and Serve: Remove from the oven and garnish with extra chopped parsley if desired.
With these clear and concise steps, you’ll have your Honey Garlic Turkey Meatballs ready to enjoy in a short amount of time.
