Ingredients
For the Meatballs (or use store-bought frozen):
1 lb ground beef or ground turkey
1/3 cup breadcrumbs
1 egg
2 tbsp milk
1 tsp garlic powder
1 tsp onion powder
Salt & pepper to taste
For the Glaze:
3/4 cup brown sugar
1/2 cup ketchup
2 tbsp soy sauce
1 tbsp apple cider vinegar
1 tsp Worcestershire sauce
Optional: red pepper flakes or sriracha for a spicy kick
Instructions
Preheat Oven
Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or foil.
Make the Meatballs
In a large bowl, mix together all meatball ingredients until combined. Roll into 1-inch balls and place on the prepared baking sheet. Bake for 15–18 minutes, or until cooked through.
Make the Glaze
While the meatballs bake, combine brown sugar, ketchup, soy sauce, vinegar, and Worcestershire sauce in a saucepan over medium heat. Bring to a simmer and cook for 3–4 minutes, stirring until the sauce thickens slightly.
Coat the Meatballs
Transfer baked meatballs to a skillet or pot. Pour glaze over them and toss to coat. Simmer for another 5–7 minutes, allowing the glaze to soak in and become sticky.
Serve
Serve warm as an appetizer with toothpicks, or as a main dish over rice, mashed potatoes, or noodles. Garnish with chopped green onions or sesame seeds, if desired.
