These savory Thai-style turkey bites are a delightful twist on traditional meatballs, packed with flavor and perfect for any occasion.
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
Using parchment paper prevents sticking and makes cleanup easier.
In a mixing bowl, whisk together the egg, minced garlic, grated ginger, lemon zest, fish sauce, and ground coriander.
Ensure the spices are evenly distributed for consistent flavor.
Add the ground turkey, finely chopped green onions, and cornstarch to the bowl. Mix gently until just combined.
Avoid overmixing to keep the meatballs tender.
Shape the mixture into 1-inch balls and place them on the prepared baking sheet, spacing them slightly apart.
Using a small scoop can help make evenly sized balls.
Bake in the preheated oven for 20 minutes, or until the bites are firm and cooked through.
Check one bite for doneness by cutting it open to ensure it's fully cooked.
Serve the turkey bites warm with your favorite dipping sauce or as part of a meal.
Garnish with fresh herbs like cilantro for added flavor and presentation.
