Directions
{{model.addEditText}} Print- Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Prepare rice according to package directions.
- Drain 1/2 cup crushed pineapple for meatballs. Reserve remaining pineapple and juice for sauce.
- Combine ground turkey or chicken, cooked rice, 1/2 cup pineapple, 1/2 cup green onions, 1/4 cup teriyaki sauce, egg, ginger and nutmeg in large bowl. Mix well.
- Scoop mixture and gently roll into desired meatball size (we suggest about the size of a golf ball); place meatballs on aluminum foil-lined baking sheet with sides. Bake for 25 to 30 minutes or until meatballs are done.
- While meatballs are baking, to make sauce, combine remaining pineapple and juice, remaining 1/4 cup teriyaki sauce and orange marmalade in medium saucepan; heat to boiling. Reduce heat and simmer, uncovered 3 to 4 minutes. Stir in remaining 1/4 cup green onions.
- Top cooked meatballs with sauce.
Footnotes
- If desired, serve meatballs over additional hot cooked rice and sprinkle with additional green onions.

We made these for a football game and love them. The flavors mend well together and we plan to have them again. Followed the recipe as stated. Great, great recipe! Five stars!

This recipe had good flavor but I thought there was too much rice. I am looking forward to trying this again but reducing the amount of rice added to the meatballs.

This turned out great! I added a little bit of cholula to the sauce and the meatball mixture for a touch of spice and it is one of my new favorites

It was a nice change from my normal fixxings, but I always find poultry meatballs to be a little mushy. I liked the sauce, I didn't have any orange marmalade so I just squeezed in some fresh lem...
