1 large egg
2 cloves garlic, finely minced
1 tbsp fresh ginger, peeled and finely grated
1 tsp ground turmeric
2 tbsp fresh cilantro, finely chopped
½ tsp fine sea salt
1 tbsp olive oil

For the dipping sauce

2 tbsp coconut aminos
Chef's tip
Soy sauce is saltier and less sweet; start with less and adjust.
1 tbsp apple cider vinegar
1 tsp fresh ginger, peeled and finely grated
1 tsp honey

For serving

12 large romaine lettuce leaves, washed and dried
2 tbsp fresh cilantro leaves (optional)

Instructions

1
Preheat the oven to 400°F (205°C). Line a rimmed baking sheet with parchment paper.
2
In a large mixing bowl, combine the ground turkey, breadcrumbs, egg, garlic, 1 tbsp grated ginger, turmeric, chopped cilantro, salt, and olive oil. Mix with your hands until just combined — do not overwork the mixture or the meatballs will be dense.
