I recently came up with this recipe a few days ago and couldn’t wait to share it on the Bee’s Kitchen. I m trying to hold myself from eating all of them. Until today, I was never a big fan of turkey – I always told myself I didn’t like turkey and I was wrong. I just needed to come up with the perfect recipe. I think that baking them in the oven is easy and also much healthier compared to frying them. The texture is a little bit hard on the outside but soft on the inside and very tasty.

• 1 pound of ground turkey
• 3 tbsp of garlic powder
• 2 scallions chopped
• 1/2 cup of whole wheat bread crumbs or regular bread crumbs
• 1 medium carrot, shredded

For the teriyaki sauce:

• 8 tbsp of mirin
• 1/2 cup of soy sauce
• 2 tbsp rice vinegar
• 2 tbsp sesame oil
• 8 tbsp of brown sugar
• 4 clove of garlic minced
• 4 tbsp of fresh ground ginger
• a dash of red pepper flakes

Preheat the oven to 400 degrees.In a large bowl, mix the ground turkey with the scallions, carrots, bread crumbs and garlic powder.

Prepare the soy sauce: mix all of the ingredients and simmer for about 8 to 10 minutes.

Pour half the soy sauce into the prepared turkey, Mix very well. Shape the turkey into medium size balls.

Grease a large baking pan and place the meatballs. Bake for about 35 minutes.

Before serving, pour over or on the side the teriyaki marinade.
