Ingredients

For The Meatballs

3 lb ground turkey (I used 90% lean)
1/4 cup almond flour
1 egg
2 green onions (chopped thinly, whites only but save green for garnish.)
1 tbsp coconut aminos (or low sodium soy sauce)
1/2 tsp black pepper
1/2 tsp ginger (ground)
red pepper flakes (to taste)

For the Sauce

1/2 cup coconut aminos (or low sodium soy sauce)
1 tbsp sesame seed oil
1 tbsp rice vinegar
1/2 tsp ginger (ground)
1 tsp garlic (minced)
1/2 tsp garlic powder
1/2 tsp black pepper
2 sugar free maple syrup (or honey)

Instructions

1
In a large bowl, stir together all meatball ingredients. Mix until fully incorporated.
2
Use a small cookie scoop to scoop 1-inch balls. Line them onto a large foil lined baking sheet. Chill in the fridge for 10 minutes or so to firm up.
3
Meanwhile, make your sauce by whisking together all of the sauce ingredients. Set aside.
4
Heat up a large wok over medium/high heat (mine is a 14″ HexClad wok ).
5
Heat up 1 tbsp. of sesame oil or olive oil. Add the meatballs and cook on all sides until fully cooked, about 10 minutes. I had to do two separate batches.
6
Pour the sauce over the meatballs and simmer for 8-10 minutes. Add 1 tbsp. cornstarch mixed with + 1 tbsp. water to the pan for a thicker sauce.
7
Serve over rice or with sides of choice. Enjoy!
