1
Cook brown rice according to package directions.
2
In a large bowl, combine ground turkey, egg, breadcrumbs, garlic powder, salt, and black pepper. Mix gently until just combined. Roll the mixture into 1-inch meatballs.
3
Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add meatballs and cook, turning occasionally, until browned on all sides, about 5-7 minutes. Remove meatballs from skillet and set aside.
4
In a small bowl, whisk together honey, soy sauce, rice vinegar, and minced garlic. In a separate small bowl, whisk together cornstarch and water to create a slurry.
5
Pour the honey garlic mixture into the skillet. Bring to a simmer, then stir in the cornstarch slurry. Cook, stirring, until the sauce thickens, about 1-2 minutes.
6
Return the meatballs to the skillet and toss to coat them in the sauce. Cook for another 2-3 minutes until the meatballs are cooked through and heated.
7
Serve the honey garlic turkey meatballs over cooked brown rice. Garnish with sesame seeds and sliced scallions.
