Step-by-step instruction without your screen going to sleep

  • 1 1/2 pounds ground turkey
  • 3 garlic cloves, minced
  • 1 teaspoon minced fresh ginger
  • 4 tablespoons soy sauce, divided
  • 1 scallion, green parts only, chopped
  • 1/2 cup panko bread crumbs
  • 1 large egg, lightly beaten
  • 2 tablespoons hoisin sauce
  • 1 tablespoon rice vinegar
  • 1/2 tablespoon packed light brown sugar
  • 1 teaspoon toasted sesame oil
  • 3/4 cup water

Utensils

  • Step 1

    In a large bowl, mix together the ground turkey, garlic, ginger, 2 tablespoons of soy sauce, scallion, panko breadcrumbs, and egg. Form the mixture into 1 1/2-inch meatballs(about 36 to 40 meatballs). Place the meatballs on a plate; cover and refrigerate while you make the sauce.

  • Step 2

    Select SEAR/SAUTÉ on your Ninja® Foodi™ and set the temperature to HI. Select START/STOP to begin. Let preheat for 5 minutes.

  • Step 3

    Meanwhile, in a medium bowl, combine the remaining 2 tablespoons of soy sauce, hoisin sauce, rice vinegar, and brown sugar. Whisk until the sugar is dissolved. Set aside.

  • Step 4

    Pour the sesame oil into the pot. Once the oil is hot, add the meatballs and cook for 3 to 4 minutes, until the meatballs have browned on all sides. Select START/STOP. Transfer the meatballs to a bowl and set aside.

  • Step 5

    Pour the water into the pot, and use a wooden spoon to scrape up any browned bits from the bottom of the pot. Pour in half of the prepared sauce, then return the meatballs to the pot.

  • Step 6

    Assemble the pressure lid, making sure the pressure release valve is in the SEAL position. Select PRESSURE and set it to HI. Set the time to 15 minutes. Select START/STOP to begin.

  • Step 7

    When the cooking is complete, quick release the pressure by turning the pressure release valve to the VENT position. Carefully remove the lid when the unit has finished releasing pressure.

  • Step 8

    Pour the remaining sauce into the pot, and stir to coat the meatballs.
