Stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator, these meatballs will last up to 4 days.

u003cstrongu003eCan I make these ahead of time?u003c/strongu003e

Yes, you can make these ahead of time. I recommend cooking the meatballs as directed then letting them cool completely before transfering to a clean sheet pan with parchment. Freeze the meatballs until solid then transfer to a resealable zipper-lock bag and store in the freezer.u003cbr/u003eu003cbr/u003eWhen you're ready to serve, transfer the frozen meatballs to a baking sheet and reheat in a 300ºF (149ºC) oven until warmed through. While they are reheating make the glaze.

u003cstrongu003eCan I make these with a different ground meat?u003c/strongu003eu003cbr/u003e

Sure! Ground chicken, ground beef or ground pork will all work.

u003cstrongu003eHow do I keep these warm at a party?u003c/strongu003eu003cbr/u003e

I would recommend keeping them warm in a slow cooker on low heat. You can also keep them warm on the stove top in a medium pot, covered, over low heat. Just make sure to give them a stir from time to time to avoid burning.

⅓ cup chopped scallions
1 large egg
2 teaspoons grated fresh ginger, or 1 ½ teaspoons dried ground ginger
2 teaspoons toasted sesame oil
1 teaspoon salt
½ teaspoon black pepper

Glaze

¼ cup hoisin sauce
2 tablespoons fresh lime juice
2 tablespoons low-sodium soy sauce
2 teaspoons toasted sesame oil
1 teaspoon grated fresh ginger (or ¾ teaspoon dried ground ginger)

2 teaspoons sesame seeds, for serving (optional)

Instructions

Meatballs

Heat oven to 425°F (218ºC); coat a baking sheet with nonstick spray.

Mix turkey, ½ cup Panko, garlic, scallions, egg, 2 teaspoons ginger, 2 teaspoons sesame oil, salt, and pepper together using hands. Using 2 heaping tablespoons at a time, roll turkey mixture into 20 meatballs (1½ ounces each); arrange on prepared baking sheet.

Notes

* Ground turkey: depending on your store, ground turkey can be sold by 1 pound, 1.2 pounds, or 1.5 pounds. I find 1.5 pounds of 93% lean ground turkey works best, but you can also use 1 pound or 1.2 pounds. 85% lean ground turkey works well (a bit more decadent), but avoid 97% or 99% lean ground turkey.

Make these gluten-free: use gluten-free Panko breadcrumbs and make sure to use certified gluten-free hoisin and soy sauce.

Mix up the meat: these meatballs can also be made with lean ground chicken, pork or beef.
