Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 lb Lean ground beef (or ground turkey)
  • 1/2 cup Panko breadcrumbs
  • 1/4 cup Milk
  • 1 Large egg, beaten
  • 1/2 Onion, finely minced
  • 2 cloves Garlic, minced
  • 1 tsp Salt
  • 1/2 tsp Black pepper
  • 1 cup Favorite BBQ sauce
  • 2 tbsp Brown sugar
  • 1 tbsp Apple cider vinegar
  • 1 tsp Worcestershire sauce

Instructions

  1. Step 1: Preheat and Prepare
    Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). Line a large baking sheet with parchment paper or a silicone baking mat to prevent sticking and make cleanup easier.
  2. Step 2: Combine Meatball Ingredients
    In a large mixing bowl, combine the ground meat, breadcrumbs, milk, beaten egg, minced onion, garlic, salt, and pepper. Use your hands or a fork to mix everything together until just combined. Be careful not to overwork the meat, as this can make the meatballs tough.
  3. Step 3: Shape the Meatballs
    Scoop about 1 to 2 tablespoons of the meat mixture and roll it between your palms to form a ball roughly 1 inch in diameter. Place the meatballs on the prepared baking sheet, leaving about an inch of space between each one. You should get about 24 to 30 meatballs.
  4. Step 4: Initial Bake
    Place the baking sheet in the oven and bake for 15 to 18 minutes, or until the meatballs are cooked through and slightly browned on the outside.
  5. Step 5: Prepare the BBQ Glaze
    While the meatballs are baking, whisk together the BBQ sauce, brown sugar, apple cider vinegar, and Worcestershire sauce in a small bowl or saucepan. If using a saucepan, simmer over low heat for 5 minutes to thicken the sauce and meld the flavors.
  6. Step 6: Glaze and Finish
    Once the meatballs are done, remove them from the oven. You can either toss them in a bowl with the sauce or brush the glaze generously over each meatball while they are still on the tray. Return them to the oven for an additional 5 minutes to let the glaze caramelize and become sticky.
