Ingredients
  

Meatballs
  • ▢ 1 pound lean ground turkey
  • ▢ 1/4 cup finely chopped green onions
  • ▢ 1 1/2 teaspoons grated fresh ginger
  • ▢ 1 teaspoon sriracha
  • ▢ 1 clove of garlic grated
  • ▢ 2 tablespoons chopped cilantro
  • ▢ 2 teaspoons low sodium soy sauce or tamari
  • ▢ 3 tablespoons panko gluten-free panko if needed
  • ▢ 1 egg
  • ▢ Kosher salt and fresh ground black pepper to taste
Sauce
  • ▢ 3 tablespoons low sodium soy sauce or tamari
  • ▢ 1/4 cup hoisin sauce
  • ▢ 2 tablespoons rice vinegar
  • ▢ 1 tablespoon honey
  • ▢ 1 teaspoon sriracha
  • ▢ 1/2 teaspoon sesame oil optional
  • ▢ 1 teaspoon grated fresh ginger
  • ▢ 1/4 teaspoon garlic powder
Other Ingredients
  • ▢ 2 cups cooked brown rice
  • ▢ 1 carrot peeled into ribbons
  • ▢ 1 cup shelled edamame
  • ▢ 1/2 cup sliced English cucumber
  • ▢ 1 jalapeño sliced thin (optional)
  • ▢ Chopped cilantro
  • ▢ Sesame seeds

Method
 

  1. Cook the rice and prep the vegetables.
  2. Preheat oven to 450° F. and line a baking sheet with foil or parchment paper. Spray with cooking oil and set aside.
  3. In a large bowl combine all of the ingredients for the meatballs and mix together with your hands. Use a cookie scoop or tablespoon to scoop out the meat mixture. Roll it into a ball and place it on the baking sheet. You should have approximately 20 meatballs. Bake the meatballs for 15 minutes or until they're cooked through.
  4. While the meatballs bake, add all of the sauce ingredients in a medium sized saucepan and whisk together. Bring the sauce to a boil then reduce the heat and let the sauce simmer until it reduces and thickens slightly, about 3-5 minutes. Add the baked meatballs to the sauce and stir them around until they are coated.
  5. To assemble the bowls, add rice to each bowl and top with 4-5 meatballs, sliced cucumber and jalapeño, carrot ribbons, edamame, sesame seeds, cilantro and extra sauce if desired.

Notes

The use of fresh ginger in the meatballs not only adds a delightful zing but also acts as a natural tenderizer. Its enzymes break down protein, ensuring that your turkey meatballs are not just flavorful but also incredibly tender and juicy.
