Ginger Turkey Meatballs Recipes

Steps:

• Make the meatballs: In a medium bowl, combine the ground turkey, panko, soy sauce, ginger, sesame oil, scallions and garlic. Mix thoroughly and set aside.
• Heat 1/4 inch of oil in a large, high-sided cast-iron pan over medium heat.
• Using a small ice cream or cookie scoop, scoop the ground turkey mixture and roll in your hands to make 1-inch meatballs. Cook the meatballs in a single layer in the heated oil until brown all over and cooked through, 7 to 8 minutes. (Alternatively, you can brown the meatballs in the oil then bake in a preheated 350 degree F oven to finish cooking for 5 to 6 minutes.)
• Meanwhile, make the sauce: In a small bowl, combine the honey, sambal and vinegar. Whisk together and set aside.
• Remove the meatballs from the oil and drain on a paper-towel-lined plate. Serve warm with the sweet and spicy dipping sauce.

Steps:

• Make sauce: Bring sugar and 1/2 cup water to a boil in a saucepan over medium-high heat, stirring until sugar melts completely. Reduce heat to medium-low and add soy sauce, mirin, ginger, coriander and peppercorns. Simmer, stirring occasionally, until reduced by half, about 30 minutes. Strain through a sieve. (Can be made up to 2 days ahead and refrigerated.)
• Make meatballs: mix turkey, scallions, cilantro, egg, sesame oil, soy sauce and several grindings of pepper in a bowl. Roll tablespoons of mixture into balls.
• In a skillet over medium-high heat, generously cover bottom of pan with vegetable oil. Working in batches to avoid crowding, place meatballs in pan and cook, turning, until browned all over and cooked inside, about 8 minutes per batch. Arrange on a heated platter, spoon a little sauce over each meatball, and serve with toothpicks. If desired, keep warm in a 200-degree oven until ready to serve. Garnish with sliced scallions, if desired.
