One Pan Asian Turkey Meatballs

One Pan Asian Turkey Meatballs  

These tender and juicy hoisin meatballs are high in protein and feed a hungry appetite with 4 meatballs per serving, white rice, and pea pods. They’re browned on the outside and cooled before storing in a zip-top bag with an Asian hoisin sauce. This makes for less work on busy days. Just thaw and simmer in the sauce!
