Notes
- Don't over bake. If you over bake the meatballs, you'll end up with dry meatballs or worse, burnt teriyaki sauce.
- Make sure to cook the teriyaki sauce on medium then reduce the heat to a simmer once it comes to a boil. If you continue to cook on medium and boil the mixture, you risk burning the sauce or evaporating so much you won't have enough for the meatballs.
- If you like sauce, double the teriyaki sauce so you have even more to add to the meatballs after baking.
- Use your hands to mix the meat. This keeps the meatballs moist and tender, or as moist and tender as turkey can be.
