These little bites pack a serious punch of flavor — fresh ginger and garlic run through every meatball, while ground turmeric adds a warm, golden depth that makes them look as good as they taste. The real magic happens when that glossy coconut aminos glaze hits: a quick stovetop reduction with apple cider vinegar and honey that turns sticky, tangy, and just a little sweet in under three minutes. Coconut aminos does a lot of heavy lifting here, standing in for soy-based sauces that often sneak shellfish-derived ingredients or are processed alongside seafood products — so you get all that savory, umami richness without any of the concern. Cassava flour keeps the texture light and tender, and baking the meatballs at high heat means you get a little color on the outside while keeping the inside juicy. Tossed in the warm glaze and finished with fresh scallions and cilantro, they're the kind of appetizer that disappears fast at a party — or makes a genuinely satisfying weeknight dinner over rice or noodles. The ingredient list is clean and straightforward, so there's no guesswork about what's actually in your food.

Preheat the oven to 400°F (205°C). Line a rimmed baking sheet with parchment paper and brush or rub it with the coconut oil.
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.
