Ingredients
- 1 pound ground beef or ground turkey
- 1/4 cup breadcrumbs
- 1 large egg
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1/2 teaspoon black pepper
- 1/2 teaspoon ginger powder
- 3 cups broccoli florets
- 1/2 cup teriyaki sauce
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 1 tablespoon sesame seeds
- Skewers (wooden soaked in water or metal)
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 400°F (200°C) or prepare grill over medium heat. Soak wooden skewers in water for at least 20 minutes if using.
- In a mixing bowl, combine ground meat, breadcrumbs, egg, garlic, salt, black pepper, and ginger powder. Mix until just combined.
- Shape the mixture into small meatballs and place them on a baking sheet.
- Bake for 12–15 minutes until cooked through, or grill until fully cooked and nicely browned.
- Toss broccoli florets with olive oil and a light sprinkle of salt. Roast for about 10 minutes until tender-crisp, or grill briefly until slightly charred.
- Thread cooked meatballs and broccoli onto skewers, alternating pieces.
- Brush generously with teriyaki sauce and return to oven or grill for 5 minutes to warm and lightly caramelize the glaze.
- Sprinkle with sesame seeds before serving.
Notes
- Add chopped green onions or a splash of soy sauce to the meatball mixture for extra flavor.
- Mix honey into the teriyaki sauce for a sweeter glaze.
- Add bell peppers or red onion chunks to the skewers for extra color.
- Store leftovers in an airtight container for up to 3 days.
- Reheat at 350°F (175°C) for 8–10 minutes or microwave until heated through.
- Brush with additional teriyaki sauce before reheating to keep moist.
