Instructions
Creating delicious Honey Garlic Turkey Meatballs is simple. Just follow these steps:
1. Preheat the Oven: Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C).
2. Prepare the Baking Sheet: Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or lightly grease it with cooking spray.
3. Mix the Meatball Ingredients: In a large bowl, combine ground turkey, breadcrumbs, Parmesan cheese, minced garlic, egg, onion powder, black pepper, salt, and half of the honey.
4. Form the Meatballs: Use your hands to mix the ingredients until just combined. Form into meatballs, about 1 inch in diameter, and place them on the prepared baking sheet.
5. Bake the Meatballs: Put the baking sheet in the oven and bake for 18-20 minutes or until cooked through.
6. Make the Sauce: While the meatballs are baking, in a small saucepan, combine the remaining honey, soy sauce, and rice vinegar. Heat over medium heat until it begins to simmer, then reduce to low.
7. Coat the Meatballs: Once the meatballs are cooked, remove them from the oven. Drizzle or toss them in the honey garlic sauce to coat.
8. Optional Final Bake: For extra glaze, place the coated meatballs back into the oven for an additional 5 minutes.
9. Garnish and Serve: Remove the meatballs from the oven, garnish with chopped green onions if desired, and serve hot.
