Sriracha Ground Turkey Meatballs
Report
My Sriracha Ground Turkey Meatballs are a perfect 30 minute weeknight dinner solution. They have the perfect balance of heat and savory goodness. Served with a Sriracha honey glaze (that I am obsessed with!), rice, and broccoli for a balanced meal!

Instructions
For the meatballs
- Preheat oven to 400°F. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper and set aside. If you don't have any parchment paper, spray baking sheet with non-stick cooking spray.
- Add all of the ingredients for the meatballs together in a large mixing bowl.
- Mix ingredients together, being careful not to over mix. The mixture should be moist and able to form together into meatballs, I recommend using a 2 Tbsp. cookie scoop to keep meatballs a uniform size.
- Place the meatballs onto the prepared baking sheet. Will yield ~16 meatballs depending on the size you make them.
- Bake for ~15 minutes, or until fully cooked. (165°F for ground turkey)
For the sauce
- While the meatballs are baking, you can make the sauce. In a medium saucepan or skillet over medium heat, combine all ingredients together. Bring the sauce to a gentle boil then down to a simmer. Simmer until sauce thickens into more of a glaze consistency, it can take ~5-10 minutes to reduce.
- You can add the meatballs to the sauce, or keep it on the side.
- Serve with rice and veggie of choice and garnish with green onions, sesame seeds, and they sauce. Enjoy!
Notes
- Storage: Allow the meatballs to cool completely at room temperature before storing. Then place them in a container or bag and they can typically be stored in the fridge for up to 3 to 4 days.
- If you feel like your sauce isn't turning into a glaze, you can add a touch more honey and continue to allow it to simmer and reduce.
