At first I was a bit worried about the consistency of the meatball mixture, as it was wetter than other meatball recipes I’ve done but they cooked beautifully – was more like 30-35 minutes to get them nice and brown. Very delicious! I also added a bit of rice vinegar to the sauce and that helped to add some tang and acidity and cut the sweetness just a tad. Very good overall!

Sorry I don’t have one.

I always have ground turkey in the freezer, but have never tried to make meatballs by themselves. These look delicious, and you’re right, a nice healthy alternative to beef meatballs. I’ll have to give these a try

shobelyn@easytocookmeals says
I am glad you like it. Hmm, I will have to figure out how to convert F to C. Got to use my Math 🙂 I am looking right now what is gyouza.
Emmeline says
Ah, I tried this recipe last night and roasted at closer to 400 F (I’m in England and we use C). They were done after a further 15 minutes, so 35 in total. But I didn’t measure my vegetables, so I got a lot of extra water coming out of them. They were delicious and I think will make a tasty base for gyouza! 🙂 Thank you!
shobelyn@easytocookmeals says
Bake it at 350 F for 20 minutes.
Emmeline says
What temperature should the meatballs be baked at?
shobelyn@easytocookmeals says
Thanks!
