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).
