# Steps to Follow:
01 -
Spoon your saucy meatballs onto some rice or another grain you love. Pour on extra sauce, then top off with sesame seeds and extra green onions.
02 -
Move the cooked meatballs into a roomy bowl. Douse them with your sauce and gently stir so they all get covered.
03 -
Want the sauce thicker? Stir cornstarch with water in a little bowl, then whisk into your bubbling sauce until it's how you like it. Toss in chili flakes if you want some heat, then take off the heat.
04 -
As meatballs bake, toss soy sauce, honey, beef broth, sesame oil, garlic, ginger, and black pepper in a small pot. Heat till it boils, then let it gently bubble on low for five minutes.
05 -
Pop the sheet in the hot oven and bake about 13–15 minutes. Look for golden color and make sure they’re cooked through.
06 -
Scoop up heaping tablespoons of mix, then roll into balls about 2.5 cm across. Line 'em up on your prepped sheet.
07 -
Toss ground turkey, panko, egg, soy sauce, ginger, garlic, and your green onions together in a big bowl. Mix with your hands until everything’s evenly blended.
08 -
Crank your oven to 200°C. Set out a baking tray with parchment or a little oil.
# Extra Tips:
01 -
Switching the meat to chicken, beef, or pork? Just keep an eye on cook time so it’s fully done.
