Chinese-Style Meatballs

     I had some ground turkey and was supposed to make spaghetti with it, but that didn't sound good. So I googled "ground turkey recipes" and found this. I thought, "This sounds weird, yet interesting, and strangely good." So we tried it and now my husband said we should eat it once a week!

Chinese-Style Meatballs and dipping sauce 
recipe adapted from here

Ingredients for Meatballs 

1.25 pounds ground turkey (1 Jenny-O package) 
2 tbsp soy sauce 
1 tbsp sesame oil 
1 tbsp vegetable oil 
1 egg, beaten 
1/2 cup fine bread crumbs 


Ingredients for dipping sauce

1/4 cup soy sauce 
1 tbsp rice vinegar 
1/4 cup brown sugar 
sprinkle of ginger 

Directions 

1. Preheat oven to 400 and line a cookie sheet with parchment paper.
2. Combine all ingredients until mixed well.
3. Scoop tablespoon sized meatballs onto cookie sheet (I use a small cookie scoop).



4. Bake for 20-25 minutes.

5. While the meatballs are baking, make the dipping sauce. 

 6. In a small saucepan, combine ingredients and cook on low until sugar dissolves. 

Serve meatballs with rice and veggies.

    Visiting through Delicious Dishes. Your girls are adorable and Abby is obviously on her way to being a great cook. Love these meatballs. Much more interesting for me than spaghetti and meatballs as well. I'll have to give them a try.
    Thanks.

    Thank you so much for linking this recipe up to our blog hop! It looks delicious!

    So funny that you are also one of 4 sisters. I just happened upon another blog of 4 sisters that have a blog together(crumbs and chaos) so this is such a small world!
