Asian Meatballs
Servings: 16 meatballs
Calories: 70cal
Ingredients
- 1 pound ground chicken or ground turkey
- 2 Tablespoons minced fresh ginger root
- ¼ cup sliced green onions
- ¾ cup parmesan cheese
- 1 Tablespoon low sodium soy sauce
- ½ Tablespoon rice vinegar
- 1 large egg
- salt and pepper to taste
- 1 Tablespoon olive oil
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 400 F. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
- To a large mixing bowl, add ground chicken, ginger, green onions, parmesan cheese, soy sauce, rice vinegar, and egg.
- Use gloved hands to mix all ingredients together until completely combined.
- Form the meat mixture into 16 meatballs. I like to weigh my meat mixture then divide that by 16 to get my meatballs fairly even in size.
- Heat olive oil in skillet over medium-high heat until shimmering. Add meatballs and brown on all sides.
- Transfer meatballs to parchment lined baking sheet.
- Bake in preheated oven for 8-10 minutes.
Notes
- We used ground chicken in these meatballs. You can substitute with ground turkey, pork, or beef if preferred.
- This recipe is low carb and keto friendly. We do not use bread crumbs in this recipe, so it’s likely gluten free as well. However, many soy sauces contain gluten, so please do your research first, especially if you have a gluten allergy.
