Ingredients
  

  • 1 lb ground turkey 93/7
  • 1/3 cup breadcrumbs
  • 1 egg
  • 2 cloves garlic minced
  • Salt and pepper to taste

  1. Preheat the oven to 400°F and line a baking sheet with foil.

  3. Bake for 18-20 minutes, until cooked through and lightly browned.
  4. Meanwhile, whisk the honey, soy sauce, and garlic in a small saucepan over medium heat.

  6. Toss the baked meatballs in the sauce until fully coated.
  7. Serve over rice, garnished with sesame seeds and green onion.

Notes

Buy ground turkey in the family-size pack and freeze half in a flat zip bag — it thaws faster and stretches your grocery trip across two dinners.
