Ingredients
 
 

For the meatballs

  • ¼ cup onions chopped
  • ¼ cup red bell pepper chopped
  • 1 pound lean ground turkey
  • ½ cup mashed potato
  • 1 Tablespoon gluten free tamari sauce
  • ¼ teaspoon pepper
  • teaspoon salt

For the sauce

  • 1 cup chicken broth
  • ½ cup tamari
  • 2 Tablespoons coconut sugar
  • 3 Tablespoons honey
  • ½ teaspoon ground ginger
  • ½ cup red pepper chopped
  • 1 clove garlic minced
  • 1 teaspoon cornstarch
  • 1 Tablespoon water
  • green onion for garnish

Instructions
 

  • Preheat the oven to 350 degrees.
  • In a large bowl, combine the chopped onions, chopped red bell pepper, lean ground turkey, mashed potato, tamari sauce, salt, and pepper. Use your hands to mix well.
  • Roll the mixture into balls (I made mine about 1 ½ inches wide, and place in a skillet with a little bit of olive oil. Cook over medium heat until brown on all sides.
  • Transfer to a casserole dish and bake at 350 degrees for about 25 minutes, or until cooked through.
  • While the meatballs are baking, make the sauce.
  • Place the chicken broth, tamari, coconut sugar, honey, ground ginger, chopped red pepper, and minced garlic in a sauce pan and simmer for about 5 minutes.
  • Combine the cornstarch and water in a small container and shake well to remove lumps. Drizzle into the pan and stir well to combine. Continue to simmer until the sauce thickens, about 5 more minutes.
  • Drizzle the sauce over the finished meatballs, and top with green onion. Serve over rice if desired, or insert toothpicks for an easy appetizer.

Notes

Store leftovers in the refrigerator for up to three days.
Serving size is 4 meatballs.
If you can't have soy, then you can use coconut aminos in place of the tamari sauce.
