Asian Turkey Meatballs w/ Whole 30 Teriyaki
Ingredients
Scale
Meatballs:
- 1 pound ground turkey
- 1 egg
- ¼ cup coconut flour
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- ½ teaspoon ground ginger
- ½ teaspoon salt
- Few cracks of pepper
Sauce:
- ½ cup coconut aminos (or tamari)
- ¼ cup water
- ¼ cup orange juice
- ½ teaspoon garlic powder
- ½ teaspoon ground ginger
- 1 heaping teaspoon arrowroot powder + 1 teaspoon cold water (mixed together)
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 400 degrees. In a medium bowl add turkey, egg, coconut flour, garlic powder, ground ginger, salt and pepper and mix to combine completely. Divide into 16 meatballs and place them in an 8×8 inch pyrex. Set aside.

Made these for dinner tonight by far my favorite whole 30 recipe!! So glad I made a double batch!! Thanks!
Awesome!!
I’m on dairy free keto…what could I replace the orange juice with that’s keto compliant?
I am not sure, don’t know much about keto!
Thank you for this recipe! I started my Whole30 at the beginning of May. I didn’t actually make the meatballs but I totally used the sauce for salmon and chicken thighs. It’s soooooooo good. Will definitely get around to making the meatballs eventually 🙂
Awesome!!
Very Tasty! I had to substitute apple/lime juice for OJ and five spice for garlic. Thanks for this recipe.
So glad you enjoyed!!
I love this recipe! It is super easy and really tasty.
