Sriracha Sesame Meatballs


Those of you who know me well, know my aversion to things like "meatballs." Generally, I think they're gross. But these little guys are incredible. I've made them probably 30 times since I found the recipe several months ago. They're are also super healthy.

The meatballs are made with TURKEY! If you like it spicy stick with the 3 tbsp of Sriracha. If you don't like spice you can cut it down to a mere 1 tsp (but you need to keep at least 1 tsp for flavor.)

Everytime I make them I'm surprised at how good they are. Doesn't make sense. The sum is greater then the parts my friends. So much greater.

Sriracha Sesame Meatballs

1 tbsp minced garlic
1 tbsp minced ginger
3 green onions, sliced
1 tbsp rice wine vinegar
1 tbsp soya sauce
1 tbsp thai fish sauce
1 tsp sesame oil
1 egg
2 tbsp sesame seeds
3 tbsp sriracha hot sauce
1.5 lbs ground turkey
1/2 cup whole wheat bread crumbs

Mix it all together in a big bowl. Preheat oven to 425 degrees. Make into meatballs, place on ungreased baking sheet. Bake 20min until brown.

Serve topped with more green onions and sesame seeds.

So yummy!
