Meatballs:

  • 16 ounces ground turkey
  • 1/2 cup gluten-free breadcrumbs (or finely crushed up gluten-free crackers)
  • 1/4 cup onions, finely chopped
  • 1 large egg
  • 1/4 teaspoon ground ginger
  • 1 garlic clove, minced
  • 2 teaspoons sesame oil

Teriyaki sauce:

Instructions

  1. Preheat oven to 400 degrees and line a baking sheet with parchment paper or use a oven-safe cooling rack (I prefer this method)
  2. Combine meatball ingredients in a large bowl
  3. Mix well using clean hands (I usually wear meat handling gloves)
  4. Roll in 1 1/2″ meatballs and add to baking sheet
  5. Bake in oven for 10 to 12 minutes or until meat thermometer reads 170 degree F
  6. While meatballs bake, make the sauce by simmering the sauce ingredients together, stirring frequently until sauce is slightly thickened
  7. Transfer meatballs to a large bowl and drizzle with sauce and toss to combine
  8. Enjoy warm with desired sides!
