Ingredients

Meatballs:

1 large egg

1 lb ground turkey lean beef or pork

2 cloves garlic finely minced

1 large onion chopped

1 scallion finely chopped

1 tbsp sesame seeds

3 tbsp breadcrumbs

1 handful cilantro chopped

Oil for baking

Salt and pepper to taste

Sauce:

2 tbsp honey

1 c. pineapple juice

4 tbsp tomato paste

4 tbsp low sodium soy sauce

2 tbsp cornstarch

1 tbsp molasses NOT blackstrap

1 tsp ground ginger

1 tsp Worcestershire sauce

1 c. finely diced pineapple OR canned crushed pineapple

1 tsp dried garlic powder

1 tbsp sesame oil optional

How to make Pineapple BBQ Meatballs

Step 1: In a large bowl, place the meatball ingredients except for the oil. Mix well using a handheld mixer until evenly blended. You can also use your hands to knead the ingredients.

Step 2: Spoon about 1 1/2 tsp meat mixture and form it into a meatball. On a lightly greased baking sheet, place the meatball. Repeat for the rest of the meat mixture. You can freeze the meatballs for a nice shape.

Step 3: Place the meatballs in a preheated 410 degrees F oven and bake for about 10 to 12 minutes or until browned and they are no longer pink in the centre.

Step 4: In a large skillet, combine the sauce ingredients except for the pineapple. Bring everything to a boil, stirring, then simmer for about 2 to 3 minutes or until the sauce has thickened. Set the sauce aside when done.

Step 5: In the skillet with the sauce, transfer the baked meatballs. Heat on low heat, gently tossing the meatballs until nicely glazed.
