Traeger Sesame Ginger Meatballs
Traeger Sesame Ginger Meatballs can be made with ground chicken or ground pork, a delicious and flavorful meatball cooked on the Traeger
Equipment
- Traeger/Pellet Grill
Ingredients
- 1 pound ground chicken or ground pork
- 1/2 cup panko bread crumbs
- 1/2 cup shredded carrots
- 1/3 cup sliced green onions
- 2 Tbsps soy sauce
- 2 Tbsps ginger paste
- 1 Tbsp garlic paste
- 1 Tbsp sesame seeds (plus more to sprinkle over the meatballs)
- 1 egg
- kosher salt, pepper
- Optional: yum yum sauce, sriracha mayo, hoisin sauce for dipping
Instructions
- Put the ground chicken or pork, panko, carrots, green onions, soy sauce, ginger, garlic, sesame seeds, egg, kosher salt, and pepper in a bowl. Gently fold and combine with your hands until evenly mixed.
- Form into 8 meatballs and place on a baking sheet or tray. The meatballs will be delicate which is normal. Sprinkle more sesame seeds over top.Note: These meatballs are pretty large, if you prefer smaller meatballs form 10 to 12.
- Preheat the Traeger/ pellet grill to 225 degrees, if you have the super smoke setting, turn that on. Place the meatballs on the grill grate. I had the best luck just using my hands to carefully transfer them from the tray to the grill.
- Cook at 225 degrees for 30 minutes. Turn the Traeger up to 400 degrees for 10 to 15 minutes or until the internal temperature is 165 degrees.
- Serve the meatballs with dipping sauces of choice such as yum yum sauce, sriracha mayo, and/or hoisin sauce.
