Why did the steaks go dancing the other night?
Because they went to a meatball…
I think I can start sneaking dad jokes into my posts every now and then—just to keep you on your toes. 😉
This honey sriracha turkey meatball recipe has been a staple for Kaleb and me for years. I first stumbled upon it during a super busy season of life, and it quickly became a go-to meal prep favorite. Kaleb loves spice way more than I do, but I’m all about bold, savory flavors, and the touch of honey makes these chef’s kiss perfection. 🍯
We usually serve these with rice and a side of roasted broccoli (because balance, right?). And let me tell you—the honey garlic glaze drizzled over rice? 10/10 recommend.
The best part? It’s ridiculously easy. Mix everything in a bowl, roll them into little meatballs, pop them in the oven, and boom—dinner is served! Whether you’re always on the go or just want a quick, flavorful meal, this one’s a winner. Meal prep is the way to go to save on a budget of time and money, similar to my recipe on meal prep chili that you can find by clicking HERE!

The Action – Instructions
1️⃣ Make the Meatballs – In a large bowl, mix together the ground turkey, breadcrumbs, eggs, green onions, garlic powder, salt, and black pepper until well combined. Roll the mixture into 1½-inch balls and place them on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper or coated with non-stick spray.
