Cooking Guidelines

To ensure food safety, the FDA recommends the following as minimum internal cooking temperatures:

  • Steak and Pork 145° F (rest cooked meat, 3 minutes) |
  • Seafood 145° F |
  • Chicken 165° F |
  • Ground Beef 160° F |
  • Ground Turkey 165° F |
  • Ground Pork 160° F

Customize It Instructions

  • If using ground turkey, bake uncovered in hot oven until meatballs reach minimum internal temperature, 22-25 minutes.

  1. 1

    Form the Meatballs

    In a mixing bowl, combine panko and 3 Tbsp. water. Let sit, 1 minute.

    After 1 minute, add ground pork, 1/4 tsp. salt, and Asian garlic, ginger & chile seasoning (use less if spice-averse). Stir until completely combined.

    Form mixture into 8 equally-sized meatballs.

  2. 2

    Bake the Meatballs

    Place meatballs in provided tray and cover with foil.

    Bake covered in hot oven until meatballs reach a minimum internal temperature of 160 degrees, 20-25 minutes.

    Carefully remove from oven and uncover. Stir in garlic sesame sauce until meatballs are evenly coated. Tray will be hot! Use a utensil.

    Bake again uncovered in hot oven until sauce is heated through, 4-6 minutes.

    Carefully remove from oven.

    While meatballs bake, continue recipe.

  3. 3

    Assemble Salad and Finish Meal

    Stem cilantro and reserve whole leaves.

    In another mixing bowl, combine dressing, miso base, 1 tsp. olive oil, slaw mix, spring mix, almonds, cilantro, and wontons. Bon appétit!
