Ingredients
  • 1 1/2 pound ground turkey meat
  • 1 tablespoon minced fresh ginger
  • 1 teaspoon ginger powder
  • 4 tablespoon soy sauce
  • 1 tablespoon xiao xing wine
  • 1 tablespoon salt
  • 1 tablespoon garlic salt
  • 1 tablespoon sugar
  • 1/4 cup panko breadcrumbs
  • 2 teaspoon cornstarch
  • 3 tablespoon sesame oil
  • 2 cup pineapple juice
  • 1/2 cup brown sugar
  • 1/4 cup white sugar
  • 1/4 cup soy sauce
  • 1/4 cup honey
  • 2 tablespoon cherry balsamic vinegar
  • 1 teaspoon white pepper
  • chopped pineapple, for garnish
Directions
  1. Mix all ingredients for the meatball until fully incorporated.
  2. Scoop a large tablespoon of ground meat and hand-roll meatballs into small balls.
  3. In a large pan, heat oil and place each meatball into the pan until the pan is full. Turn the meatballs until all sides are brown.
  4. Turn to lower heat and add pineapple glaze. Cover with a lid and let it simmer until the sauce is absorbed by the turkey meatballs. Uncover, flip meatballs, and coat evenly.
  5. Remove the meatballs once the sauce is mostly absorbed and glazed. Use a skewer and place 2 meatballs on each wooden skewer.
  6. Alternative: These meatballs can also be grilled or baked.
  7. Baking Temperature: 375 degrees for 20 to 30 minutes with the pineapple glaze poured over it and baste the meatballs similar to the wings.
  8. In a separate sauce pan, place all pineapple glaze ingredients together and simmer until sauce thickens.
