How to make Turkey Bulgogi Meatballs

This recipe is pretty simple to make! First, to make the meatballs, combine turkey, panko breadcrumbs, egg, pepper and ginger. Roll meatballs into bite-sized balls. Heat a frying pan over medium/high heat. Spray with non-stick spray and add meatballs. Cook and turn frequently. Meatballs should reach an internal temperature of 165 degrees.

While the meatballs cook, combine soy sauce (be sure to get the low sodium), sesame oil, and brown sugar. Whisk well and add to pan with meatballs once they are cooked thoroughly. Let simmer 3-5 minutes and move around meatballs to coat in the sauce. Remove from heat and add sesame seeds.
