Easy Asian Meatballs

Ingredients:

1 pound lean ground beef, turkey or chicken (dark meat)
2 tablespoons dry bread crumbs (I use homemade or panko in a

pinch)
1 tablespoon soy sauce
2 tablespoons ketchup
2 teaspoons grated fresh ginger
3 each green onions, thinly sliced
1 package (6 oz) Driscoll's Blackberries
1 package (6 oz) Driscoll's Blackberries
1/2 cup hoisin sauce
1/2 cup ketchup

Directions:

To prepare meatballs, preheat oven to 425°F.
Line a baking sheet with foil for easier clean-up.
Mix meat, crumbs, soy sauce, ketchup, ginger and green onions

until well combined.
Press a thin layer of meat (about 1/8-inch) around each

blackberry, sealing completely. Place on prepared baking

sheet.
Bake 10-12 minutes until meat is cooked, turning balls over

half-way through for more even browning.
Keep warm until serving.
To prepare sauce, combine 1 package blackberries, hoisin

sauce and ketchup in a small saucepan.
Cook over medium heat, pressing or mashing blackberries into

sauce. Simmer until heated through and slightly thickened.
Serve sauce and meatballs warm. Offer toothpicks for dipping

meatballs, or add meatballs to sauce.
