Ingredients
- 500 grams Lean ground turkey
- 60 grams Fresh breadcrumbs
- 1 large Egg
- 1 teaspoon Garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon Onion powder
- 0.5 teaspoon Salt
- 0.25 teaspoon Black pepper
- 1 teaspoon Olive oil (optional, for greasing)
- 2 tablespoons Honey
- 3 tablespoons Dijon mustard
- 1 teaspoon Low-sodium soy sauce
- 1 teaspoon Apple cider vinegar
Directions
Step 1
Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper or lightly grease it with olive oil.
Step 2
In a large mixing bowl, combine the ground turkey, breadcrumbs, egg, garlic powder, onion powder, salt, and black pepper.
Step 3
Using clean hands or a spoon, mix until all ingredients are well incorporated but do not overmix to avoid tough meatballs.
Step 4
Scoop out small portions of the mixture (about 1 tablespoon each) and roll into balls. You should end up with approximately 20-24 meatballs.
Step 5
Arrange the meatballs evenly on the prepared baking sheet, ensuring they are not touching.
Step 6
Bake in the preheated oven for 18-20 minutes or until the meatballs are fully cooked through and reach an internal temperature of 165°F (74°C).
Step 7
While the meatballs are baking, prepare the honey mustard sauce. In a small bowl, whisk together the honey, Dijon mustard, soy sauce, and apple cider vinegar until smooth.
Step 8
Once the meatballs are cooked, transfer them to a large mixing bowl and pour the honey mustard sauce over them. Toss gently to coat evenly.
Step 9
Serve immediately as a main dish alongside steamed veggies or rice, or as an appetizer with toothpicks. Enjoy!
