Instructions
Step 1
First, in a medium bowl, smash your ground turkey with a fork so it’s broken up.
Step 2
Then, add the onion, garlic, tamari (or soy sauce), hot sauce, sesame oil, sesame seeds, and egg.
Step 3
Use your fork to mix everything together.
Step 4
Fold in the cilantro.
Step 5
Place a few tablespoons of coconut oil in a pan over medium-high heat.
Step 6
Make golf-sized balls from the meatball mixture and place them into the coconut oil.
Step 7
Fill the entire pan with balls, and turn down the heat to medium.
Step 8
Use tongs to flip the balls after about 5 minutes.
Step 9
Cook another 3 – 5 minutes and flip again.
Step 10
Continue to turn the meatballs until they are cooked through, another 5-10 minutes. Turn down the heat a bit if they are too brown when you turn them.
Step 11
In a small bowl, whisk together the avocado oil, tamari (or soy sauce), agave nectar (honey or maple syrup works), hot sauce, and sesame oil.
Step 12
When you only have a few minutes left for cooking, pour the sauce over the meatballs and cook the remaining 2-3 minutes, until the sauce reduces a bit.
Step 13
Serve over noodles, zoodles, in a lettuce wrap, the list goes on!
Step 14
Sprinkle with additional sesame seeds and cilantro as wanted.
