Instructions
- Prepare the Meatballs:
- Combine ground turkey, salt, pepper, garlic powder, dry mustard, oats, and beaten egg in a mixing bowl.
- Grate cold butter over the mixture and gently fold to combine. Avoid overmixing.
- Cover the bowl and refrigerate for 15 minutes to firm up the mixture.
- Prepare the Raspberry Glaze:
- Combine raspberries, soy sauce, brown sugar, lemon juice, Dijon mustard, and Sriracha in a saucepan.
- Simmer over medium heat for 20 minutes, stirring occasionally.
- Use a spoon to mash the raspberries, then strain the mixture through a fine mesh sieve to remove seeds.
- Bake the Meatballs:
- Preheat oven to 350°F. Shape the chilled meat mixture into 15 evenly sized meatballs.
- Arrange meatballs in a greased casserole dish, ensuring they’re close together.
- Bake for 20 minutes.
- Glaze the Meatballs:

- Return to the oven and bake for an additional 10–15 minutes, or until the internal temperature reaches 170°F.
- Serve:
- Spoon any remaining glaze from the bottom of the dish over the meatballs before serving.
Notes
- If using frozen raspberries, reduce soy sauce by 1 tbsp.
- For a thicker glaze, mix 1 tsp cornstarch with 2 tsp water and stir into the simmering glaze.
