• 1/2 pound ground turkey, chicken, beef, or pork (8 ounces)
• 1 heaping Tablespoon ginger, grated

• 1 teaspoon soy sauce/tamari (can omit if you want, I’ve made it with and without)
• 1/2 Tablespoon sesame oil
• 1 Tablespoon miso – red or white
• 1/2 teaspoon chili powder or red pepper flakes
• optional: mix in 1/4 cup sliced green onion if you’ve got it – it’s good!

INSTRUCTIONS

1. Mix all ingredients together in a large bowl. Shape between your hands into meatballs about 1 Tablespoon in size. (I scoop with a Tablespoon.)
2. To bake: Place on parchment- or foil-lined baking sheet. Bake on 475 for 15-18 minutes.
3. To fry: Add to hot pan (no oil needed) on stove and fry bottom until a bit crispy, then turn over and add 2 Tablespoons of water to the pan. Cover and steam for another 4-6 minutes until water has evaporated.
4. *Regardless of the method, I ALWAYS check one meatball to ensure it is cooked all the way. So be sure to check before digging in!
5. Note: I’ve made these both baked and fried, and have no real preference. I like the crisp exterior of frying, but it’s hard to beat the convenience of tossing a big batch in the oven!
