# Step-by-Step Guide:
01 -
Set oven to 425°F to prepare for baking.
02 -
In a large bowl, mix ground beef, ground turkey, egg, milk, breadcrumbs, onion, salt, and Worcestershire sauce until the mixture is cohesive and uniform.
03 -
Form mixture into meatballs using a 1 1/2 tablespoon scoop or your hands. Arrange meatballs on a rimmed baking sheet.
04 -
Transfer meatballs to preheated oven and bake for 15 minutes or until cooked through, with no pink remaining in the center.
05 -
In a medium bowl, whisk chicken broth, honey, brown sugar, soy sauce, minced garlic, and corn starch until thoroughly combined.
06 -
Warm a large non-stick skillet over medium heat. Add sliced red pepper and snap peas; sauté for 2 minutes until slightly softened but still crisp.
07 -
Pour prepared sauce into skillet with vegetables. Bring to a boil, stirring to prevent lumps, then lower heat and simmer for 1 to 2 minutes until the sauce thickens to a glossy glaze.
08 -
Add baked meatballs to skillet and toss gently in the sauce. Simmer for 1 more minute to meld flavors.

Plate hot meatballs and vegetables over cooked rice or quinoa. Garnish with chopped green onions and sesame seeds, and serve immediately.
# Additional Notes:
01 -
For best results, form meatballs of equal size to ensure even cooking and optimal texture.

Corn starch helps the sauce achieve a glossy, restaurant-style finish.
