Steps:
- Make sauce: Bring sugar and 1/2 cup water to a boil in a saucepan over medium-high heat, stirring until sugar melts completely. Reduce heat to medium-low and add soy sauce, mirin, ginger, coriander and peppercorns. Simmer, stirring occasionally, until reduced by half, about 30 minutes. Strain through a sieve. (Can be made up to 2 days ahead and refrigerated.)
- Make meatballs: mix turkey, scallions, cilantro, egg, sesame oil, soy sauce and several grindings of pepper in a bowl. Roll tablespoons of mixture into balls.
- In a skillet over medium-high heat, generously cover bottom of pan with vegetable oil. Working in batches to avoid crowding, place meatballs in pan and cook, turning, until browned all over and cooked inside, about 8 minutes per batch. Arrange on a heated platter, spoon a little sauce over each meatball, and serve with toothpicks. If desired, keep warm in a 200-degree oven until ready to serve. Garnish with sliced scallions, if desired.
Tips:
- Choose the right ground turkey: Use a combination of ground turkey breast and thigh for the best flavor and texture. If you can only find one type of ground turkey, breast is a good option as it's leaner and less prone to drying out.
- Use fresh herbs and spices: Fresh herbs and spices add a ton of flavor to these meatballs. Don't skimp on them! If you don't have fresh herbs on hand, you can use dried herbs, but use about half the amount.
- Don't overmix the meatball mixture: Overmixing can make the meatballs tough. Mix just until the ingredients are combined.
- Form the meatballs into small, even-sized balls: This will help them cook evenly. Use a small cookie scoop or a tablespoon to measure out the meatball mixture. Then, roll the mixture into balls between your hands.
- Brown the meatballs before cooking them in the sauce: Browning the meatballs adds flavor and helps keep them moist. Do this over medium-high heat in a large skillet. Once the meatballs are browned on all sides, transfer them to a plate.
- Make sure the sauce is simmering before adding the meatballs: This will help prevent the meatballs from sticking to the bottom of the pot.
- Don't overcrowd the pot when cooking the meatballs: If you crowd the meatballs, they won't cook evenly. Cook them in batches if necessary.
- Let the meatballs simmer in the sauce for at least 30 minutes: This will allow the flavors to meld and the meatballs to become tender.
- Serve the meatballs with your favorite sides: These meatballs are great served over rice, noodles, or vegetables.
Conclusion:
These Asian Turkey Meatballs with Chile-Garlic Glaze are a delicious and easy-to-make dish that's perfect for a weeknight meal. The meatballs are flavorful and juicy, and the glaze is sweet, spicy, and addictive. Serve them over rice, noodles, or vegetables for a complete meal.
