Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 lb ground chicken or turkey
  • 1/2 cup breadcrumbs (plain or panko)
  • 1/4 cup grated Parmesan cheese
  • 1 large egg
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1/4 cup finely chopped green onions
  • 1/2 tsp salt
  • 1/4 tsp black pepper
  • 1/4 tsp smoked paprika (optional)
  • 1/3 cup honey
  • 1/4 cup Dijon or yellow mustard
  • 1/4 cup buffalo hot sauce
  • 1/3 cup teriyaki sauce
  • 1 tbsp soy sauce
  • 1 tbsp melted butter (optional)
  • Chopped fresh parsley or cilantro (optional garnish)
  • Toasted sesame seeds (optional garnish)
  • Extra green onions, thinly sliced (optional garnish)

Instructions

  1. Preheat oven to 400°F (200°C). Line a large baking sheet with parchment paper or a silicone mat.
  2. In a large mixing bowl, combine ground chicken or turkey, breadcrumbs, Parmesan, egg, minced garlic, green onions, salt, pepper, and smoked paprika. Mix just until combined.
  3. Use a small cookie scoop or tablespoon to form 1-inch balls (about 20-24 meatballs). Roll gently and place evenly on the prepared baking sheet.
  4. Bake for 18-20 minutes, or until cooked through and lightly golden (internal temp should reach 165°F).
  5. While meatballs bake, whisk together honey, mustard, buffalo sauce, teriyaki sauce, soy sauce, and melted butter in a medium bowl. Taste and adjust buffalo sauce for heat.
  6. Optional: For a thicker glaze, simmer the sauce in a small saucepan over low heat for 3-5 minutes until slightly reduced.
  7. Transfer cooked meatballs to a large bowl. Pour sauce over hot meatballs and gently toss with tongs until evenly coated. Let sit for 5 minutes to soak up flavor.
  8. Arrange meatballs on a platter. Garnish with parsley, sesame seeds, and extra green onions if desired. Serve warm with toothpicks or mini forks.

Notes

For gluten-free, use GF breadcrumbs and tamari instead of soy sauce. For dairy-free, skip Parmesan or use a plant-based alternative. For vegetarian, use plant-based ground and vegan Parmesan. Make ahead by rolling and refrigerating meatballs a day in advance. Keep warm in a slow cooker for parties. Adjust buffalo sauce for desired heat. If glaze is too thin, simmer to thicken. Leftovers taste even better the next day.
