These savory little bites pack a serious punch of flavor — fresh ginger, garlic, and turmeric give the turkey a warm, aromatic depth, while coconut aminos bring a rich, umami-forward savoriness without a drop of soy. The glaze is where things really shine: a glossy, sticky coating of coconut aminos, apple cider vinegar, honey, and more ginger that comes together in just a few minutes on the stovetop. Cassava flour does the binding work here instead of any grain-based filler, which means these are completely free of oat-derived ingredients — no hidden binders, no questionable breadcrumbs, just clean, simple components you can actually verify. For anyone navigating oat sensitivities, store-bought meatballs and pre-made sauces are often a minefield of unexpected additives, so making these from scratch puts you fully in control. Baking them at high heat on a parchment-lined sheet keeps cleanup minimal and gives each meatball a lightly set exterior before they get tossed in that glossy glaze. Finished with fresh scallions and cilantro, they look impressive enough to serve at a party but are genuinely easy to pull off on a weeknight.

In a large mixing bowl, combine the ground turkey, cassava flour, 2 tbsp coconut aminos, ginger, garlic, turmeric, and salt. Mix with your hands until just combined — do not overwork the mixture or the meatballs will be dense.
