How to Make Aloha Meatballs
- Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C).
- In a medium bowl, gently combine ground turkey/chicken, onion, breadcrumbs, egg, soy sauce, pineapple juice, ginger, garlic powder, and red pepper flakes (if using). Mix until just combined; do not overmix.
- Line a baking sheet with parchment paper. Shape the meatball mixture into 1-inch meatballs and place them on the prepared baking sheet.
- Bake for 25-30 minutes, or until the meatballs are cooked through and lightly browned.
- While the meatballs are baking, prepare the sauce. In a small saucepan, whisk together the pineapple chunks, reserved pineapple juice, soy sauce, rice vinegar, brown sugar, cornstarch, and water.
- Bring the sauce to a simmer over medium heat, stirring constantly until thickened (about 2-3 minutes).
- Transfer the cooked meatballs to a serving bowl. Pour the sauce over the meatballs and toss gently to coat.
- Serve immediately and enjoy! Garnish with chopped green onions or sesame seeds for extra flair (optional).
