Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 lb Ground chicken or turkey
- 0.33 cup Panko breadcrumbs
- 1 large Egg
- 2 tbsp Soy sauce (low sodium)
- 1 tsp Sesame oil
- 2 cloves Garlic, minced
- 1 tsp Ginger, minced
- 2 stalks Green onions, thinly sliced
- 0.25 tsp Salt
- 0.25 tsp Black pepper
- Non-stick cooking spray
- 2 tbsp Hoisin sauce (for serving)
- 1 tsp Sriracha (optional, for serving)
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper or aluminum foil lightly sprayed with non-stick cooking spray.
In a large mixing bowl, combine the ground chicken or turkey, panko breadcrumbs, egg, soy sauce, sesame oil, minced garlic, minced ginger, sliced green onions, salt, and black pepper.
Using your hands or a spoon, mix until all the ingredients are evenly combined, but do not over-mix, as this can make the meatballs tough.
Portion the mixture into 16 even-sized meatballs (about 1 1/2 inches in diameter), rolling gently with your hands. Place them on the prepared baking sheet with space between each meatball.
Bake in the preheated oven for 12 to 15 minutes, or until the internal temperature of the meatballs reaches 165°F (74°C).
While the meatballs are baking, prepare your dipping sauce by combining hoisin sauce and sriracha in a small bowl (optional for an extra kick of heat).
Once the meatballs are fully cooked, remove them from the oven and let them cool slightly. Serve warm with the hoisin-sriracha dipping sauce on the side.
