Apple-Glazed Meatballs

I made this recipe a few days ago and my family flipped for it.  When that happens, it goes on the blog.  I used this for our main dish and paired it with rice and fresh broccoli, but it can also be used as an appetizer.  Enjoy!

• 1 egg
• 1/4 cup milk
• 1/2 cup Italian seasoned bread crumbs
• 1 lb. ground turkey or ground beef
• 4 cloves garlic, minced
• 1/4 tsp. black pepper
• 1/4 tsp. salt
• 1 TBSP vegetable oil
• 1 cup apple juice
• 1/4 cup reduced-sodium soy sauce
• 3 TBSP packed brown sugar
• 1 1/2 tsp. cornstarch
• 1 tsp. ground ginger
• 6 green onions, sliced

Simple Steps:

1. In large bowl whisk together egg and milk.
2. Add breadcrumbs and stir until breadcrumbs are wet.
3. Add ground turkey, garlic, black pepper, and salt; mix thoroughly.
4. Shape mixture into about 48 one-inch balls.
5. In 12-inch skillet heat oil over medium heat.  Cook meatballs, half at a time, turning occasionally, until brown and crusty on the outside and no longer pink on the inside, about 6 minutes per batch.  Transfer meatballs to paper towel-lined dishes, cover to keep warm.
6. Drain fat from skillet; wipe out skillet.
7. In bowl combine juice, soy sauce, brown sugar, cornstarch, ginger, and about 3/4 of the green onions.
8. In the same skillet over medium heat cook and stir sauce until thickened and bubbly (should be at a full boil).  Cook and stir 2 minutes more.
9. Return meatballs to skillet to glaze and heat through.
10. Transfer to serving dish.
11. Top with remaining green onions.
12. Enjoy!
