Ingredients

  • 1 lb ground beef or ground turkey
  • 1/2 cup breadcrumbs
  • 1 large egg
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 teaspoon grated fresh ginger
  • 1 tablespoon soy sauce
  • 1/2 teaspoon black pepper
  • 2 cups broccoli florets
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil
  • 1/2 cup teriyaki sauce
  • Sesame seeds for garnish
  • Chopped green onions for garnish

Instructions

  1. Preheat oven to 400°F (200°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper. Soak wooden skewers in water for at least 20 minutes if using.
  2. In a bowl, combine ground meat, breadcrumbs, egg, garlic, ginger, soy sauce, and black pepper. Mix until just combined.
  3. Shape mixture into evenly sized meatballs and place on prepared baking sheet.
  4. Bake for 15–18 minutes, until fully cooked and internal temperature reaches 165°F (74°C).
  5. While meatballs bake, toss broccoli florets with olive oil and a light sprinkle of salt.
  6. Thread cooked meatballs and broccoli onto skewers, alternating pieces.
  7. Brush kebabs generously with teriyaki sauce.
  8. Return to oven for 5–7 minutes or grill briefly over medium heat until sauce caramelizes slightly.
  9. Garnish with sesame seeds and chopped green onions before serving.

Notes

  • Substitute ground chicken for a lighter option.
  • Add bell peppers or zucchini to the skewers for extra vegetables.
  • Mix teriyaki sauce with sriracha for a spicy version.
  • Use fully cooked frozen meatballs for convenience; heat before assembling.
  • Store leftovers in the refrigerator for up to 4 days.
  • Reheat in a 325°F oven or microwave, brushing with extra sauce if needed.
