Notes

These meatballs are intentionally savory so they work both glazed and in soup.

The turkey-beef blend stays tender after freezing and reheating.

For extra flavor, sprinkle glazed meatballs with sesame seeds and sliced green onions before serving.

Excellent with Momofuku-style sweet-spicy broth, miso ramen, rice bowls, or lettuce wraps.
