Healthy Sweet and Sour Meatballs

• portions: 4 servings
• temps actif: 10 minutes
• temps total: 32 minutes

Ingrédients

1 lb ground turkey (I used 93% lean)

1 large egg (whisked)

½ cup packed almond flour (breadcrumbs should work too)

½ cup finely diced yellow onion

2 garlic cloves (minced)

kosher salt & black pepper (to taste)

½ cup ketchup

2 tbsp tamari (or soy sauce if not GF*)

2 tbsp rice vinegar (or ACV)

2 tbsp honey (or maple syrup)

1 tsp arrowroot starch (or cornstarch)

cooked white rice

chopped green onion

Instructions

Add all turkey meatball ingredients to a large bowl and mix with your hands until just incorporated. Transfer to the fridge to firm up for 10-15 minutes.

Scoop out 2 heaping tbsp of the ground turkey mixture and roll into balls. Place on a greased or parchment-lined air fryer tray/basket. It should make about 16 meatballs.

Air fry at 400F for 12 minutes, or until the internal temperature reaches 165F.

In the last 5 minutes of cooking time, add all of the sweet and sour sauce ingredients (except for the arrowroot) to a small pot. Stir and bring it to medium heat.

Once it begins to bubble, reduce the heat to medium-low and add in the arrowroot starch slurry (arrowroot starch mixed with a touch of water). Whisk. Continue to let it simmer for 5 minutes until thickened.

After the meatballs are done cooking, either transfer them to the pot with the sweet and sour sauce or place them in a large bowl and pour the sauce over top. Gently toss them until they're coated in the sauce.

Plate over cooked white rice and top with chopped green onions. Enjoy!
