Ingredients

For the Meatballs

  • 1 lb ground turkey 99% lean
  • 1 1/2 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil
  • 1 tablespoon ginger chopped
  • 2 tablespoons garlic chopped
  • 1/3 cup broccoli slaw lightly packed
  • 2 green onions diced
  • 2 tablespoons Gluten Free oats or regular oats
  • 1 tablespoon sesame seeds
  • salt and pepper to taste

For the Sauce

US Customary - Metric

Instructions

  • Preheat the oven to 350 F. Prepare a baking sheet with parchment paper and set aside.
  • Place the ginger, garlic, oat flour and broccoli slaw in a food processor. Pulse several times until it is finely diced. Remove from the food processor and transfer to a large mixing bowl with the olive oil and ground turkey.
  • Using your hands, work the ingredients together until dispersed. Scoop 1 1/2 tablespoons of the mixture out and roll together in your hands to form one meatball. Place on the prepared baking sheet. Repeat the process until all the mixture is gone. I got 16 meatballs total. The amount you get will depend on the size of your balls.
  • Bake the meatballs in the oven 12 then flip and cook another 10 minutes. Then remove from the oven.
  • Whisk together the ingredients for the sauce in a small bowl then transfer to a large skillet and bring to a boil. Simmer for one minute while whisking the reduce to low heat and add the meatballs to the skillet.
  • Sprinkle with the sesame seeds and diced green onions then serve! Meatballs keep in the refrigerator up to 5 days or frozen with the sauce up to 60 days.

Notes
