Ingredients  

Turkey Meatballs

  • 1 lb of ground turkey
  • 1/2 cup Italian bread crumbs
  • 1 egg
  • 1 tsp ground ginger
  • 1/2 tsp sea salt
  • 1 tsp pepper
  • 1/4-1/2 tsp chili flakes

Teriyaki Sauce

  • 1/3 cup water
  • 1 cup vegetable broth
  • 3 tbsp brown sugar
  • 1/2 tsp white miso paste
  • 3 tbsp hoisin sauce
  • 1 Tbsp sesame seed oil
  • 2 Tbsp soy sauce
  • 1 tsp ground ginger
  • 1 Tbsp tapioca flour

Instructions

  • To start, preheat oven to 425F and prepare a baking sheet by lining it with parchment paper, foil or a silicon baking mat.
  • Next, add the ground turkey to a large bowl. Then, add in the Italian bread crumbs, egg, ground ginger, sea salt, pepper, and chili flakes. Using a wooden spoon or your hands, combine all the ingredients until they are well incorporated.
  • Using a cookie scoop, or eyeballing it with your hands, grab 1 Tbsp of the meat mixture and roll between the palm of your hands until you have a perfect ball. Place them directly onto the baking sheet that’s lined with parchment paper and bake for 12 minutes or until internal temp reaches 165F.
  • While those are baking, prepare the teriyaki sauce. In a large saucepan, add in water, vegetable broth, brown sugar, white miso paste, hoisin sauce, soy sauce, sesame seed oil, and ground ginger. Whisk until ingredients are well combined, bring to a low simmer and then add in the tapioca flour last to help thicken the sauce. Remove from heat.
  • When the meatballs are ready, add them to the pan with the sauce and coat each meatball well.
  • Serve on top of jasmine rice and top with sesame seeds and green onions, enjoy!
