Can I make these meatballs ahead of time?
Yes. Form the meatballs up to 24 hours ahead and refrigerate on a parchment-lined tray, then cook when ready. Cooked meatballs keep refrigerated for up to 4 days in meal prep containers.
What can I use instead of hot honey glaze?
Try a sriracha-honey drizzle, spicy mayo, or a combination of hot sauce mixed with honey. Adjust the ratio based on your heat preference.
Can I use ground turkey instead of ground chicken?
Yes. Ground turkey works as a direct substitute with nearly identical cooking time and texture; the meatballs may be slightly leaner.
How do I know when the meatballs are cooked through?
They should be browned on all sides and reach an internal temperature of 165°F when tested with an instant-read thermometer.
Can I freeze these meatballs?
Yes. Cool completely, then freeze in a single layer on a tray before transferring to a freezer bag for up to 2 months. Thaw in the refrigerator before reheating.
