Miso Meatballs (Turkey, Beef, Chicken, or Pork) GF

Ingredients

½ pound ground turkey chicken, beef, or pork (a mixture of pork and beef is my fave)
1 tablespoon ginger grated, heaping
1 clove garlic minced
1 teaspoon soy sauce or tamari

½ Tablespoon sesame oil

1 Tablespoon miso red or white
½ teaspoon chili powder or red pepper flakes
¼ cup sliced green onion (optional)

Directions

Mix all ingredients together in a large bowl. Shape between your hands into meatballs about 1 Tablespoon in size. (I scoop with a Tablespoon.)
To bake: Place on parchment- or foil-lined baking sheet. Bake on 475 for 15-18 minutes.
To fry: Add to hot pan (no oil needed) on stove and fry bottom until a bit crispy, then turn over and add 2 Tablespoons of water to the pan. Cover and steam for another 4-6 minutes until water has evaporated.
*Regardless of the method, I ALWAYS check one meatball to ensure it is cooked all the way. So be sure to check before digging in!

Notes

Note: I’ve made these both baked and fried, and have no real preference. I like the crisp exterior of frying, but it’s hard to beat the convenience of tossing a big batch in the oven!
