Ingredients

The following ingredients have 9 Servings
  • 2 pounds ground turkey
  • 1/2 cup panko (breadcrumbs, or almond flour)
  • 1 inch ginger (peeled and grated)
  • 3 cloves garlic (finely minced)
  • 1/2 bunch green onion (thinly sliced, divided)
  • 1/2 teaspoon sea salt
  • 1/4 teaspoon pepper
  • 2 tablespoons ghee
  • 1/2 teaspoon white sesame seeds
  • 1 cup coconut aminos*
  • 2 tablespoons cornstarch or arrowroot starch
  • 1/4 cup honey (omit for Whole 30)
  • 2 tablespoons rice vinegar
  • 2 teaspoons sesame oil
  • 1/2 teaspoon fish sauce
  • 1/4 teaspoon red pepper flakes

Instruction

  • In a large bowl, combine turkey, breadcrumbs, ginger, garlic, half of the green onions, salt, and pepper.
  • Form the ground turkey mixture into 2-inch balls.
  • Optional browning step: In a large skillet or saute pan (or the base of your stovetop-friendly slow cooker), melt the ghee. Fry the meatballs for 2-3 minutes per side until browned, then transfer to slow cooker.
  • In a medium-sized bowl, whisk together all ingredients for the sauce. Pour onto the meatballs.
  • Cook in slow cooker on high heat for 2-3 hours or on low for 4-5 hours.
  • Garnish with sesame seeds and the remaining green onion.
  • Serve alongside cauliflower rice or simple white rice (basmati is my favorite).
