Ingredients

  • 900 grams ground turkey , or ground chicken
  • 3 green onions , finely chopped
  • 1 tbsp fresh ginger , grated
  • 2 tbsp fresh cilantro , finely chopped
  • 2 cloves garlic , minced
  • 1 tsp Sriracha , or to taste
  • 1 tbsp tamari , or soy sauce
  • 1 1/2 tsp Himalayan pink salt , or sea salt
  • 1/2 tsp black pepper
  • 1/2 tsp garlic powder
  • 1/2 tsp onion powder
  • pinch red chili flakes
  • 1/2 cup oat flour , see note

Instructions

  1. Preheat oven to 400F.

  2. In a large mixing bowl combine all the ingredients and mix with your hands. Try not to over mix the meat mixture. This will prevent your meatballs from becoming tough.

  3. Form the mixture into meatballs. I used about 3 tbsp. of the meat mixture per meatball. Quick heads up, the ground turkey mixture will be a lot softer and stickier than meatballs made of ground beef. When I use ground turkey to make meatballs, I either like to wear plastic gloves or I like to very lightly wet my hands with water to prevent the meat from sticking while I form them into meatballs.

  4. Place the meatballs onto a cookie sheet that has been sprayed with non-stick cooking spray.

  5. Bake 13-15 minutes then turn your oven to broil. Broil for about 3 more minutes. This will add a nice golden crust to your meatballs.

  6. Let the meatballs rest for about 5 minutes. Serve and enjoy!

Recipe Notes
