Ingredients:

  • 1 lb ground turkey (93% lean)
  • 1/2 cup panko breadcrumbs
  • 1 large egg, beaten
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced
  • 2 tbsp soy sauce
  • 1 tsp salt
  • 1/2 tsp ground black pepper
  • 1 tbsp olive oil
  • 1/4 cup honey
  • 3 tbsp soy sauce
  • 1 tbsp rice vinegar
  • 1 tbsp coarsely cracked black pepper
  • 1 tsp fresh ginger, grated
  • 1 tsp cornstarch
  • 1 tbsp water

Instructions:

  1. In a large bowl, combine the ground turkey, panko, beaten egg, minced garlic, soy sauce, salt, and pepper. Mix gently with hands until combined; roll the mixture into 1-inch spheres (approximately 16–20 meatballs).
  2. Heat olive oil in a large non-stick skillet over medium-high heat. Add meatballs in a single layer and sear for 2–3 minutes per side until a deep brown crust forms. Remove meatballs from the pan and set aside.
  3. Turn heat to medium and stir in the honey, soy sauce, rice vinegar, cracked pepper, and ginger. Let the sauce bubble for 2 minutes until it begins to reduce.
  4. Whisk in the cornstarch and water slurry constantly until the sauce becomes velvety and thick. Return the meatballs to the pan, tossing gently until evenly coated in the glaze.
