Asian Turkey Meatballs
Makes 15 meatballs
Serves 5 for an appetizer
1.25 lb ground turkey
3 tbsp hoisin sauce
1 tbsp soy sauce
dash cayenne pepper
1 inch of a fresh hand of ginger, peeled
4 cloves garlic
Preheat the oven to 375 degrees F.
Mince or finely grate the ginger and garlic. Mix all of the ingredients with your hands until thoroughly combined. Use a disher to divide the mixture into 15 portions (a number 20 or 30, a typical cookie disher, works perfectly for this) on a rimmed baking sheet lined with foil and sprayed with nonstick cooking spray. Use your hands to gently form each portion into a ball.
Bake for about 45 minutes or until the internal temperature reaches 180 degrees F.
Serve warm
