Cheese-Stuffed Teriyaki Turkey Meatballs

Serves 4
Total Time 30 minutes
Prep Time 10 minutes
Cook Time 20 minutes

Ingredients

Roasted Broccoli
2 cups broccoli florets
Salt, to taste
Pepper, to taste
Olive oil

Meatballs
1 pound ground turkey
1 egg
⅓ cup green onions, finely chopped
2 tablespoons Kikkoman® Teriyaki Takumi, Original
¼ cup Kikkoman® Panko Bread Crumbs
2 cloves garlic, minced
1 tablespoon ginger, minced
½ tablespoon salt
1 teaspoon black pepper
½ cup mozzarella cheese, cubed

For Serving
Kikkoman® Teriyaki Takumi, Original
Green onions
White rice

Directions

  1. Toss the broccoli florets with salt, pepper, and a drizzle of olive oil.
  2. Spread on a sheet pan and roast at 400°F for 20–25 minutes, or until lightly browned and tender.
  3. In a large bowl, combine the ground turkey, egg, green onions, teriyaki, panko, garlic, ginger, salt, and pepper. Mix until combined.
  4. Scoop a tablespoon and a half of the meat mixture, flatten it in your hand, and place a small cube of mozzarella cheese in the center. Roll the meat around the cheese to form a ball, ensuring the cheese is fully enclosed. Repeat with the remaining meat mixture and cheese. If you are not using cheese, make your meatballs about 2 tablespoons in size.
  5. Arrange the stuffed meatballs on a sheet pan lined with parchment paper. Bake in the oven for 14–15 minutes, or until the meatballs are cooked through and golden.
  6. Drizzle the baked meatballs with additional teriyaki, and garnish with additional green onions. Serve alongside the roasted broccoli and rice.
