Instructions
- 1
In a large mixing bowl, combine the ground turkey, grated ginger, 1 tsp turmeric, 2 tbsp parsley, cilantro, gluten free breadcrumbs, egg, and 3/4 tsp salt. Mix with your hands until just combined — the mixture should hold together when pressed but not be overworked.

Roll the mixture into balls about 1 inch in diameter (roughly 1 heaping tablespoon each), placing them on a baking sheet as you go. You should get about 18–20 meatballs.
