I really love the versatility of this dish. It would make a great appetizer, a main dish like we made served with rice, or pasta or even as a teriyaki meatloaf. The sauce is AMAZING! I promise you will not be disappointed!
Thank you Cookin' Canuck for making mealtime a hit!
Ingredients
FOR THE MEATBALLS
- 1 1/4 pound ground turkey
- 1/2 whole medium yellow onion, grated
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- 2 teaspoons grated ginger
- 1/4 cups chopped Italian parsley
- 3/4 Chinese Five Spice Powder
- 1 whole egg
- 1/4 cup plus 2 tablespoons of dry breadcrumbs
- 1 teaspoon Kosher salt
- 1/2 teaspoon ground pepper
FOR THE SAUCE
- 1/3 cup rice wine vinegar
- 1/4 cup packed brown sugar
- 1/3 cup water
- 1/4 cup soy sauce
- 1/4 cup Canola oil
- 2 teaspoons minced fresh ginger
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 tablespoon all-purpose flour
- 2 teaspoons toasted sesame seeds
Instructions
FOR THE MEATBALLS
- Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Thoroughly coat a large baking sheet with cooking spray. In a large bowl, combine ground turkey, grated onion, garlic, ginger, parsley, five-spice powder, egg, breadcrumbs, salt and pepper.
- Mix well to combine. Using a 2 tablespoon portion of the turkey mixture, form meatballs by rolling between the palms of your hands. Place the meatballs on the prepared baking sheet, spacing evenly.
- Bake until the meatballs are firm to the touch and cooked through, about 15 minutes.
FOR THE SAUCE
- In a small saucepan, combine rice vinegar, brown sugar, water, soy sauce, 1/4 cup Canola oil, ginger, garlic, flour, and sesame seeds.
- Whisk the sauce together and place over medium heat. Simmer until the sauce is slightly thickened, 8-10minutes.
- Keep warm.
- At the 15 minute point, remove the meatballs from the oven and brush the meatballs liberally with the sauce. Return the oven for 5 minutes. Serve immediately with the extra sauce.
