Teriyaki Turkey Meatballs are a quick and easy weeknight meal or appetizer that is so delicious! Turkey meatballs topped with an incredible homemade teriyaki sauce. Perfect over rice or noodles!

Teriyaki Turkey Meatballs

So these might just be the ultimate turkey meatballs. The meatballs are jam-packed with Asian flavors with freshly grated ginger and green onions baked right into the meatballs which is really what takes them to the next level in my opinion. The teriyaki sauce on top is thick and has just the right amount of sweetness and complements the meatballs perfectly. Serving them over white rice or noodles (such as ramen or rice noodles) makes this a filling and delicious meal that’s sure to be a new favorite!

Turkey Meatballs

I think my favorite part of these teriyaki meatballs was just how quick and easy they really were to make! Start to finish, I only spent about 20-25 minutes making them so they turned out to be such an awesome weeknight meal! I always try keeping a bunch of quick dinner recipes on hand for those nights where dinner has to be made quickly and this is definitely going to be a regular in the dinner rotation. These meatballs were so great that there weren’t any leftovers! We are huge fans of making Asian-inspired recipes, with things such as orange chicken stir fry being staples at my house but combining those incredible Asian flavors with classic meatballs is such a great combination of classic foods!

Asian Meatballs

You can substitute in garlic powder and ground ginger but the flavors will definitely not be as strong. I would use just 1/4 teaspoon ground ginger and 1/3 teaspoon garlic powder in both the meatballs and sauce. If you prefer beef meatballs, you can sub beef in for turkey in the recipe.

    So yummy! I think I will cook a little less because they were a tad dry. And I will up the sauce by half because I loved it so much. Put toothpicks in each and served as an appetizer. Just marvelous!

    I stumbled across this recipe and realized I had all the ingredients, which was a very good thing as we’re all in the “shelter in place “, and didn’t need to venture out. It was delicious and quite easy to prepare. I added broccoli to the sheet pan for a complete meal.
