Asian flavors like ginger and garlic flavor these baked ground turkey meatballs! A slightly sweet glaze coats the meatballs after they’ve baked.

This recipe comes from The Savvy Spoon archives! I love meatballs for so many reasons: flavors are easy to change based on your mood, they come together in one step + bake up in just 20 minutes!

To bring in the greens I used Trader Joe’s Asian Stir Fry mix – a mix of snap peas, broccoli, carrots, onions, mushrooms + bell peppers, all chopped up and ready for sautéing. The glaze really makes the veggies so flavorful and coats the meatballs nicely! Mostly savory and a little sweet – SO delish.

  • In the same pan, add remaining glaze + cook over low until thick (~5mins). Top meatballs + enjoy!
