These savory meatballs are bright, aromatic, and deeply satisfying — the kind of weeknight dinner that tastes like you put in way more effort than you actually did. Fresh ginger, garlic, and scallions do the heavy lifting here, layering in bold, warming flavor without a single hot pepper or spicy seasoning in sight. That makes this recipe a genuine find for anyone who loves bold Asian-inspired flavors but needs to steer clear of capsaicin, which hides in everything from chili flakes to many store-bought sauces and marinades. Coconut aminos stand in for soy sauce and bring a subtle sweetness, while a touch of turmeric adds color and earthiness that rounds out the whole dish beautifully. The broth sauce — built from bone broth, more coconut aminos, and a little apple cider vinegar — simmers down into something glossy and savory that clings to every meatball. A hard sear in coconut oil first locks in that golden crust before the gentle braise finishes the job, so you get texture and juiciness in the same bite. Scatter the reserved scallion greens over the top and serve straight from the skillet for a meal that looks as good as it tastes.

In a large mixing bowl, combine the ground turkey, scallion whites, 1 tbsp grated fresh ginger, minced garlic, 2 tbsp coconut aminos, arrowroot starch, salt, turmeric, and ground ginger. Mix with your hands until just combined — the mixture should hold together when pressed but not be overworked.
Roll the mixture into balls about 1½ inches in diameter (roughly 18–20 meatballs), placing them on a plate as you go.
