These meatballs are deeply savory, warmly spiced, and finished in a silky broth sauce that makes them feel like something you'd order at a restaurant — except you made them at home in one skillet. Fresh ginger and turmeric do a lot of the heavy lifting here, lending both brightness and that golden hue that makes the whole dish look as good as it tastes. Coconut aminos stand in for soy sauce, keeping the flavor rich and umami-forward without any of the gut-irritating ingredients that can sneak into store-bought sauces. Arrowroot starch binds the meatballs and thickens the sauce naturally, so there's no wheat flour or cornstarch in sight. The bone broth base adds a nourishing depth that's genuinely hard to replicate, and a splash of apple cider vinegar at the end keeps everything balanced and bright. Searing the meatballs first locks in that golden crust before they finish simmering low and slow in the sauce — a technique that pays off in both texture and flavor. Scatter the scallion greens on top right before serving and you've got a complete, feel-good meal that's as easy on digestion as it is satisfying.

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.
