Hoisin Turkey Meatball Meal Prep Bowls

Asian Turkey Meatball Meal Prep Bowls

These Hoisin Turkey Meatball Meal Prep Bowls are the perfect thing to make on a Sunday and eat all week! You can either fully prepare the bowls to microwave and eat, or you can make this as a freezer meatballs recipe.

Ingredients

For the Meatballs

  • 1 pound ground turkey (I use 93/7)
  • 1/4 cup green onions, finely sliced
  • 1 1/2 teaspoons ginger, grated
  • 1 clove of garlic, grated
  • 1 teaspoon sriracha
  • 2 tablespoons cilantro, chopped
  • 2 teaspoons low sodium soy sauce
  • 3 tablespoons panko
  • 1 egg
  • Salt and pepper, to taste

For the Sauce

  • 3 tablespoons low sodium soy sauce
  • 1/4 cup hoisin sauce
  • 2 tablespoons rice vinegar
  • 1 tablespoon honey
  • 1 teaspoon sriracha
  • 1/2 teaspoon sesame oil (optional)
  • 1 teaspoon ginger, grated
  • 1/4 teaspoon garlic powder

For the Bowls

  • 2 cups cooked brown rice, quinoa, riced cauliflower, or grain of choice
  • 1 jalapeño, thinly sliced
  • 1 cucumber, thinly sliced
  • 1 red bell pepper, thinly sliced
  • Toasted sesame seeds

Instructions

  1. Preheat oven to 450 degrees F.
  2. Combine all the meatball ingredients in a bowl and mix it together (I use my hands). Form into 1 1/2 inch balls and place on a sprayed baking sheet.
  3. Bake for 15 minutes or until completely cooked through.
  4. While the meatballs cook, combine all sauce ingredients in a saucepan over medium heat. Bring to a boil, then reduce to simmer and cook 3-5 minutes or until it thickens. Stir often.
  5. Toss the meatballs in the sauce. Divide rice, meatballs, jalapeño, cucumber and red pepper amongst four meal prep bowls. Sprinkle with sesame seeds.
  6. Let cool completely, cover, and refrigerate. To reheat, remove the cucumber and microwave for 2 minutes.

Notes

How to Make Freezer Meatballs

If you want, you can freeze the uncooked meatballs on a baking sheet for 1 hour, then transfer to a sealable food bag until ready to cook. Just cook from frozen for 25-30 minutes at 400 degrees F.
