Honey Sriracha Turkey Meatballs
Description
Honey Sriracha Turkey Meatballs blend lean ground turkey with finely minced portobello mushroom, garlic and onion powders, paprika, Parmesan cheese, and panko breadcrumbs to create a moist, flavorful meatball. The addition of the mushroom adds moisture and subtle umami to the mix. Formed into uniform balls and baked at 375°F, they become tender and fully cooked with an internal temperature of 165°F.
The accompanying sauce, a combination of sriracha, honey, soy sauce, minced garlic, and broth, is gently simmered until slightly thickened. It delivers a sweet heat that can be spooned over the meatballs or served separately for dipping, allowing some control over the spice level. This dish pairs well as a main course or appetizer.
Baking meatballs rather than frying reduces added fat and simplifies cleanup. Using panko and Parmesan ensures a tender texture tinged with light crispness on the outside. The recipe's balanced seasoning profile leans moderately on garlic and smoky paprika, offering familiar poultry flavors enhanced by the sauce.

Instructions
Turkey Meatballs
- Heat your oven up to 375F and cover your sheet pans with non stick spray.
- Mix together your turkey, mushroom, garlic powder, onion powder, paprika, egg, panko breadcrumbs, oil, parmesan, salt, and pepper.
- Using a cookie scoop or a large spoon, scoop up 1½ tablespoons worth of mixture and gently roll it into a ball before placing it onto the sheet pan. Repeat with the rest of the meat mixture.
- Bake for 18 to 20 minutes or until the meatballs have reached an internal temperature of 165°F/73°C.
Honey Sriracha Sauce
- While the meatballs are cooking, mix together your Sriracha, honey, soy sauce, garlic, and broth in a saucepan. Cook over low heat until the sauce has bubbled and thickened a bit.
- Either serve the sauce on the side to be dipped in or coat your meatballs with the sauce before serving.
