Albóndigas de Pavo Miel Picante

Imagine tender, juicy meatballs baked to perfection and then drenched in a vibrant, sticky glaze that balances sweetness and heat. These Spicy Chili Honey Turkey Meatballs are a flavorful departure from the classic Italian style, bringing a bold kick to your table. Whether you're serving them as a hearty main dish or a crowd-pleasing appetizer, their glossy honey-sriracha finish makes them absolutely irresistible.

Guardar

One of the best things about this recipe is how the oven-baking method keeps the meatballs tender without the mess of stovetop frying. While the meatballs get golden in the oven, you have just enough time to whisk together the five-ingredient glaze. The moment that warm, thickened sauce coats the meatballs, they transform into a gourmet treat that looks as good as it tastes.

Ingredients

• For the Meatballs: 500 g (1 lb) ground turkey, 1 large egg, 60 g (½ cup) breadcrumbs, 2 garlic cloves (minced), 2 green onions (finely chopped), 1 tablespoon soy sauce, 1 teaspoon sriracha, ½ teaspoon ground black pepper, ½ teaspoon salt.
• For the Chili Honey Glaze: 3 tablespoons honey, 2 tablespoons sriracha, 1 tablespoon soy sauce, 1 tablespoon rice vinegar, 1 teaspoon sesame oil.
• Garnish (optional): 1 tablespoon sesame seeds, 2 tablespoons chopped cilantro or green onions.

Instructions

Step 1

Preheat the oven to 200°C (400°F). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or lightly grease it.

Step 2

In a large bowl, combine ground turkey, egg, breadcrumbs, garlic, green onions, soy sauce, sriracha, black pepper, and salt. Mix until just combined; do not overmix.

Step 3

Using damp hands, form the mixture into 20 small meatballs and arrange them evenly on the prepared baking sheet.

Step 4

Bake for 18–20 minutes, or until the meatballs are cooked through and lightly browned.

Step 5

Meanwhile, in a small saucepan, combine honey, sriracha, soy sauce, rice vinegar, and sesame oil. Bring to a gentle simmer over medium-low heat, stirring occasionally, for 2–3 minutes until slightly thickened. Remove from heat.

Step 6

Once the meatballs are done, transfer them to a large bowl. Pour the warm chili honey glaze over the meatballs and toss gently to coat evenly.

Step 7

Serve immediately, garnished with sesame seeds and cilantro or green onions if desired.

Zusatztipps für die Zubereitung

To ensure the meatballs stay juicy, avoid overworking the meat when mixing the ingredients. Using damp hands makes rolling the meatballs much easier and prevents the mixture from sticking. Additionally, ensure you only simmer the glaze until it is slightly thickened so it coats the meatballs perfectly without becoming too sticky.

Varianten und Anpassungen

You can easily substitute ground chicken for turkey if preferred. For a gluten-free version, simply use gluten-free breadcrumbs and replace the soy sauce with tamari. If you prefer more or less heat, adjust the sriracha measurements in both the meatball mixture and the glaze to suit your preference.

Serviervorschläge

These meatballs are wonderful when served over a bed of steamed jasmine rice to soak up the extra glaze. They also work beautifully in fresh lettuce wraps for a low-carb meal or as a standalone appetizer at your next party. Garnish with plenty of sesame seeds and fresh cilantro for a professional finish.
