Creating Honey Garlic Turkey Meatballs is simple, and following these steps will lead to a delicious result:
1. Preheat the Oven: Set your oven to 400°F (200°C).
2. Mix the Meatball Ingredients: In a large bowl, combine ground turkey, breadcrumbs, Parmesan cheese, chopped parsley, minced garlic, an egg, salt, and pepper. Mix until just combined.
3. Shape the Meatballs: Use your hands to form the mixture into meatballs, about 1 inch in diameter. Place them on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper.
4. Bake: Place the baking sheet in the oven and bake for 25-30 minutes, or until the meatballs are cooked through and golden.
5. Prepare the Honey Garlic Sauce: In a small saucepan, combine honey, soy sauce, minced garlic, sesame oil, and rice vinegar. Bring to a simmer over medium heat. Cook for about 5 minutes, allowing it to thicken slightly.
6. Coat the Meatballs: Once the meatballs are cooked, transfer them to a large bowl. Pour the hot honey garlic sauce over the meatballs and toss until well-coated.
7. Serve: Transfer the meatballs to a serving platter or bowl.
