Easy Teriyaki Meatballs



Here's what we had for supper tonight.
Teriyaki Meatballs
Cauliflower 'Rice' (not pictured-it's just steamed cauliflower, chopped fine)
Cucumbers (of course)
Sliced tomatoes from the garden.
Watermelon

A few of you had asked what Glenco eats.

He eats what I eat at supper, but traditionally has a sandwich for lunch, and he still loves his potato chips.  He's eaten a banana for breakfast everyday for the last 28 years. I kid you not.
He's lost 18lbs since I've changed my way of eating, shopping and cooking.
He loves how he feels.

Here's the recipe for the meatballs. I used ground sirloin tonight - next time I'll try it with ground turkey breast. They were so flavorful!

1# ground sirloin, or ground turkey breast
1/3 cup of teriyaki sauce (I used Organicville Island Teriyaki Sauce-it's quite clean, found at regular grocery store)
1/2 cup of chopped green onions
1 T freshly chopped ginger root
2 teas. garlic powder
6 T oatmeal
1 egg white

Mix all the above together, and form into 8 meatballs. Place on baking sheet and bake for about 35 minutes at 350*. (I made mine ahead, and had them ready to go right in the oven - oh so convenient)
These are surely going in my recipe file. We all really enjoyed them!

  1. They look yummy- I will have to try them-I have been fooling my family for several years using ground turkey breast in place of the ground beef-it's all about the seasoning...I just seen a cooking show that added chopped mushrooms to the meat for more flavor and I love mushrooms so i'm going to try that-keep them recipes coming! Thanks Jayme
    P.S. I would love to purchase some of your honey for my grandaughter who has allergies-

  2. Thank you for posting this!! And I "liked" you! And I still do, currently! :) I'm gonna make these this week! IF there is any added sugar in that teriyaki sauce, I have to wait for another couple weeks though. I still can't spell that word! ;)

  10. Excellent.. thank you! I've also been using lots of grated zucchini for filler in ground meat patties (from my parents' garden ~ I can't grow zukes... so sad). This sounds super tasty!! I'm off to LIKE your new fb page :D -T

  11. Those look so yummy. I've been making these new turkey burgers. I don't know if they'd fit in your new diet. 2 lbs. ground turkey, 1/2-3/4 c. teriyaki sauce (I used less) and 1 packet onion soup mix. They are awesome! I've subbed 1 lb hamburger for the 2 lbs turkey and it was really good. Fresh ginger is one of those things that scared me cooking. Do you peel it first I'm assuming? How finely do you chop it?
