Asian Turkey Meatballs, Redux

This is another take on Asian turkey meatballs. The additions of hoisin, soy sauce, and ginger really made them even more flavorful and delicious. I roasted about a pound of shiitake mushrooms that I’d wiped clean and stemmed right alongside the meatballs and warmed up some roasted summer squash and beets from last night’s dinner to round out the veggies.

Asian Turkey Meatballs
Serves 4

20 oz ground turkey
1/3 cup bread crumbs
1 egg, lightly beaten
1 tbsp soy sauce
2 tbsp oyster sauce
2 tbsp hoisin sauce
1/2 tsp black pepper
1/4 tsp ground ginger
1/4 tsp garlic powder
1/8 tsp onion powdery
dash cayenne pepper

Preheat the oven to 375 degrees F.

Mix all of the ingredients until they just come together. Form into 20 small meatballs (a disher makes this very easy) and place on a baking sheet that has been sprayed with non-stick spray.

Bake for 30 minutes or until the internal temperature is at least 165 degrees F.

Serve warm.
