On the first Sunday of each month we have all of our children to dinner. Each one of them definitely has their favorite that are certain repeats throughout the year, but we try to have a variety as well. Sometimes it’s just a variation on a theme. Like “Teriyaki Meatballs”.

The sauce is new but the meatballs are a variation of our “Turkey Burger” recipe. Make the recipe the same but form into about 2 dozen meatballs. Place meatballs on 2 parchment paper lined baking sheets.  Bake in a 350 degree oven for 20-25 minutes.

Place in oven safe casserole and keep warm in a slow oven, your ovens lowest setting. Cover with Teriyaki Sauce.

Teriyaki Sauce

1 tbsp brown  sugar

2 tbsp honey

2 tbsp molasses

1/4 cup soy sauce

1/2 cup pineapple juice

1/2 cup water

1 tsp fresh grated ginger

1/4 tsp garlic powder

2 tbsp cornstarch

1/4 cup pineapple juice

In small bowl stir together cornstarch and 1/4 cup pineapple juice.  Stir together all the first 8  ingredients into a medium sauce pan and bring to a boil.  While boiling quickly whisk cornstarch mixture into boiling sauce to thicken.  Pour over warm meatballs and garnish with green and red pepper.

Enjoy!
