Honey Sriracha Glazed Meatballs

SERVES 8

Ingredients 

For the meatballs:

• 900g lean ground turkey or lean beef mince

• 1 cup whole wheat panko breadcrumbs

• 2 eggs

• 1/4 cup green onions, chopped

• 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder

• 1/2 teaspoon salt

• 1/2 teaspoon black pepper

For the sauce:

• 1/4 cup Sriracha

• 3 tablespoons reduced-sodium soy sauce

• 3 tablespoons rice vinegar

• 3 tablespoons honey

• 1 Tbsp grated fresh ginger

• 3 cloves garlic, minced

• 1/2 teaspoon sesame oil

Instructions 

• Preheat oven to 375 degrees F.

• In a large bowl, mix together turkey, breadcrumbs, eggs, green onions, garlic powder and salt/pepper until well combined. Shape mixture into 1 1/2-inch balls (you’ll make roughly 40 balls) and place spaced apart on prepared baking sheets lightly sprayed with cooking spray.

• Bake meatballs for 20 to 25 minutes, or until browned and cooked through.

• While the meatballs are baking, combine all the ingredients for the sauce in a small saucepan and bring to a boil over medium heat, whisking continuously. Reduce heat and simmer for 8 to 10 minutes (the sauce will start to thicken) then toss with the meatballs.

• Serve immediately over brown rice and top with green onions and a few sesame seeds. Enjoy!
