Print Recipe

Juicy homemade meatballs glazed with a sweet and savory teriyaki sauce, served over fluffy white rice for a satisfying and flavorful meal.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 lb (450g) ground beef or ground turkey
  • 1/2 cup breadcrumbs
  • 1 large egg
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1/4 cup green onions, chopped
  • 1/2 tsp salt
  • 1/4 tsp black pepper
  • 1 cup teriyaki sauce (store-bought or homemade)
  • 1 tbsp soy sauce
  • 1 tbsp honey or brown sugar
  • 1 tsp sesame oil
  • 2 cups cooked white rice
  • 1 tbsp sesame seeds (optional)
  • Extra chopped green onions for garnish

Instructions

  1. Preheat oven to 400°F (200°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
  2. In a large bowl, combine ground meat, breadcrumbs, egg, garlic, green onions, salt, and pepper. Mix until just combined.
  3. Form mixture into small meatballs, about 1 inch in diameter, and place on prepared baking sheet.
  4. Bake for 15–20 minutes, or until meatballs are fully cooked and browned.
  5. In a saucepan over medium heat, combine teriyaki sauce, soy sauce, honey, and sesame oil. Simmer for 2–3 minutes until slightly thickened.
  6. Add cooked meatballs to the sauce and stir to coat evenly.
  7. Serve meatballs over cooked rice, garnished with sesame seeds and green onions if desired.

Notes

  • You can substitute ground chicken or pork for the beef/turkey.
  • For a healthier version, use low-sodium teriyaki sauce.
  • Great for meal prep—store in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 4 days.
  • Pair with steamed vegetables for a balanced meal.
