Ingredients

  • Spray for cooking
  • 1 lb of ground turkey meat
  • ¼ cup of corn flakes crumbs
  • 1 egg
  • 3 chopped scallions
  • 1 tbsp of minced fresh ginger
  • 1 tbsp of low-sodium soy sauce
  • 2 tsp of sesame oil
  • 1 tsp of dried parsley
  • ½ tsp of salt
  • 1 minced garlic clove
  • For the Glaze:
  • 2 tbsp of low-sodium soy sauce
  • 2 tbsp of water
  • 1 tbsp of chile-garlic paste known as sambal oelek
  • 1 tbsp of palm sugar

Step 1

To kick things off, preheat the oven to a toasty 400 degrees F (200 degrees C) and give a large baking tray a nice coat of cooking spray.

Step 2

In a spacious mixing bowl, mingle together the turkey, corn flake crumbs, egg, scallions, ginger, soy sauce, sesame oil, parsley, salt, and garlic. Roll the mixture into charming 1-inch meatballs and arrange them on the awaiting baking tray.

Step 3

In a separate bowl, whip up a delightful glaze by combining soy sauce, water, chile-garlic paste, and palm sugar.

Step 4

Pop the meatballs into the preheated oven and let them bake until they lose their pink hue on the outside, which should take around 10 minutes. Once they're ready, generously coat them with the scrumptious glaze. Pop them back into the oven and continue baking until the glaze transforms into a delectable thickened goodness, which should take another 10 to 12 minutes.

Extra Tips & Suggestions

  1. 1. Keep your savory Asian turkey meatballs fresh and flavorful by storing them in an airtight container in the refrigerator. This will help prevent them from drying out and losing their delicious taste.
  2. 2. If you have leftover meatballs, consider freezing them for future use. Simply place them in a resealable freezer bag or airtight container and store them in the freezer for up to 3 months. This way, you'll have a quick and convenient meal ready whenever you need it.
