Ginger Asian Meatballs Recipe

Ingredients

Scale

1 lb Ground Turkey or Chicken

2 Green Onions, finely chopped, plus more for serving

1 in Ginger, freshly grated

1 Clove Garlic, minced or grated

1 TBS Grizzly Herb Rub

Pinch of Black Pepper

Sauce

2 TBS Sesame Oil, or Extra Virgin Olive Oil

1/3 Cup Soy Sauce, low sodium

1/3 Cup Pomegranate Juice

3 TBS Hoisin Sauce

3 TBS Honey

2 TBS Honey Ginger Balsamic Vinegar

1 tsp Disco Heat

2 TBS Everything Bagel Seasoning

Instructions

  1. Preheat the oven to 450 degrees. Line a baking sheet with parchment.
  2. Add the chicken, green onions, ginger, garlic, herbs, and a pinch of pepper to a bowl. Mix until just combined.
  3. Coat your hands with a bit of oil, and roll the meat into tablespoon-size balls (will make 15-20 meatballs) placing them on one side of the prepared baking sheet. The mix will be wet, but it will firm up in the oven.
  4. Transfer to the oven and bake for 15 minutes or until the meatballs are crisp and cooked through.
  5. Meanwhile, combine the 1 tablespoon oil, the soy sauce, pomegranate juice, hoisin sauce, honey, vinegar, and Disco Heat seasoning in a medium saucepan. Set over medium-high heat and bring the sauce to a boil. Boil 5-8 minutes, until the sauce thickens and reduces by about 1/3. Remove from the heat.
  6. Pour the sauce over the meatballs, add everything bagel seasoning tossing to combine. Return to the oven for 2-3 minutes, until the sauce coats the meatballs.

Notes

Equal amounts of apple cider and cranberry juice is a great substitute for Pomegranate Juice if you have that on hand.
