These are Turkey, but the Glaze is everything :)
ingredients
meatballs
- 20oz ground turkey
- 1 Large egg
- 1/2 cup bread crumbs
- 2 teaspoons minced ginger
- 2 teaspoons soy sauce
- 1/4 cup finely chopped onion
glaze
- 2 tablespoons soy sauce
- 1 tablespoon rice vinegar
- 1/4 cup brown sugar
- 2 tablespoons sriracha sauce
- 1/2 cup water (divided)
- 2 tablespoons cornstarch
directions
- Add the turkey, egg, bread crumbs, soy sauce, ginger, and onion to a bowl and mix well. Shape into about 1 1/2" meatballs (about the size of golf balls).
- Preheat a cast iron or oven safe pan on stove over medium heat. Preheat oven to 375°f.
- If your pan isn't well seasoned, pour in a small amount (about 1-2 tbs) of vegetable, canola or peanut oil. Add about 10-12 meatballs and sear on all sides. Set the seared meatballs on a plate and add do the same with the remaining meatballs. When 2nd batch finishes searing, turn off heat, add first batch back to the pan, and bake the meatballs in the preheated oven for another 7-10 minutes to finish cooking through.
- While the meatballs are in the oven, make the glaze. In a small pot combine soy sauce, rice vinegar, brown sugar, sriracha and 1/4 cup water. Heat and stir over medium until sugar dissolves. Stir together remaining 1/4 cup water and cornstarch, then add it to the glaze mix. Stir then bring to a simmer. Stir again and turn off heat.
- When meatballs are finished baking, transfer them to serving dish(es). Top with glaze.
