Step 1

Start by heating your oven to 400°F (200°C) and lightly grease a large baking sheet with cooking spray. In a big bowl, mix together the turkey, crushed corn flakes, egg, chopped scallions, grated ginger, soy sauce, sesame oil, parsley, salt, and minced garlic until everything is well combined. Roll the mixture into small meatballs, about an inch each, and place them on the prepared baking sheet.

Step 2

Next, whisk together the soy sauce, water, chile-garlic paste, and palm sugar in a separate bowl to make the glaze. Pop the meatballs into the oven and bake them for about 10 minutes, until they’re no longer pink on the outside. Then, brush the glaze all over the meatballs and bake for another 10 to 12 minutes, until the glaze thickens and becomes sticky. Enjoy!
