Ingredients
  

  • 1 lb ground turkey
  • 2 Tbsp teriyaki sauce gluten-free if needed
  • 1/3 cup tapioca flour
  • 1 Tbsp fresh ginger grated
  • 1 clove garlic minced
  • 2 green onions finely chopped
  • coconut oil for cooking

Equipment

  • Mixing bowl
  • Baking sheet
  • Measuring cups and spoons
  • Large skillet
  • Spatula or tongs

Method
 

  1. Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C).
  2. In a large mixing bowl, combine the ground turkey, teriyaki sauce, tapioca flour, grated ginger, minced garlic, and chopped green onions. Mix until well combined.
  3. Using your hands, scoop out a portion of the mixture and roll it into a ball about the size of a golf ball. Place on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper.
  4. In a large skillet, heat a tablespoon of coconut oil over medium heat. Add the meatballs in batches, searing each for about 2-3 minutes on each side until golden brown.
  5. Transfer the seared meatballs back to the baking sheet and bake for about 15-20 minutes, or until cooked through.
  6. Drizzle with additional teriyaki sauce and serve hot, garnished with more chopped green onions if desired.

Notes

  • Store cooked meatballs in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 4 days.
  • Freeze uncooked meatballs on a baking sheet, then transfer to a freezer bag for up to 3 months.
  • Add red pepper flakes to the mixture for a spicy kick!
