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.
