How To Prepare Asian Turkey Meatballs?

Preparation:

  • Preparation time: 20 min
  • Cooking time: 10 min
  • Serving: 4

Ingredients:

Meatball

  • 1 lb (450 g) ground turkey
  • 1 1/2 tablespoons soy sauce
  • 1 tablespoon Shaoxing wine
  • 1 can (8-oz / 225 g) water chestnuts, drained and chopped to 1/4" (6mm) pieces
  • 1 1/2 tablespoons cornstarch
  • 1/4 cup panko breadcrumbs

Sauce

  • 1/4 cup chicken broth
  • 3 tablespoons soy sauce
  • 1 tablespoon Shaoxing wine
  • 1 1/2 tablespoons rice vinegar
  • 3 tablespoons sugar
  • 1 teaspoon doubanjiang (Optional, for a spicy taste)
  • 2 cloves garlic, grated
  • 1 teaspoon ginger, grated
  • 1 1/2 teaspoons cornstarch

Cooking

  • 1 tablespoon vegetable oil (or other neutral oil)
  • green onion, sliced (for garnish) (Optional)

Instructions:

Make the meatballs

  1. Combine the ground turkey, soy sauce, and Shaoxing wine in a large bowl. Mix with a spatula in one direction until the meat becomes sticky.
  2. Add the water chestnuts. Mix until distributed evenly.
  3. Add the cornstarch and breadcrumbs. Mix very thoroughly so they are evenly distributed and no clumps are left.
  4. Shape the meatballs with your hands, about 2 tablespoons each. Place on a tray and refrigerate until ready to cook.

Sauce

  1. Mix all the sauce ingredients except the cornstarch in a medium-sized bowl.
  2. Mix the cornstarch with 2 tablespoons of water until dissolved.

Cooking

  1. Heat oil in a large skillet over medium heat until hot. Add the meatballs with a bit of space in between. Cook in batches if needed. Cook over medium heat until browned on all sides. If the pan starts to get too hot, turn to medium-low heat.
  2. Add the sauce and turn to medium heat. Let cook for 2 minutes.
  3. Mix the cornstarch slurry again until fully dissolved, then pour it into the skillet. Immediately stir to thicken the sauce. Add the sliced green onion if using, and mix again. Then transfer everything to a plate. Serve hot by itself or over steamed rice as a main dish.

These Asian turkey meatballs are a delicious twist on classic meatballs, combining ground turkey with savory soy sauce, Shaoxing wine, and crunchy water chestnuts. The sticky-sweet glaze makes Asian turkey meatballs an irresistible weeknight meal.
