Ingredients

  • 1 large egg

  • 1 tablespoon grated fresh ginger
  • 3 medium scallions (finely chopped (greens and whites separated))
  • 2 tablespoons reduced sodium soy sauce (plus more for topping)
  • 1 pound 93% lean ground turkey
  • Olive oil spray
  • 3 cups cooked brown rice
  • 2 teaspoons sesame oil
  • 2 cups shelled edamame (heated)

  • Sriracha sauce (optional for topping)
  • fresh cilantro (optional for topping)

Instructions

    Cup of Yum
  1. Crack the egg into a medium mixing bowl and beat with a fork.  Add the panko, garlic, ginger, scallion whites, and 2 tablespoons soy sauce and mix to combine.
  2. Bake the meatballs in the oven at 400°F for 20 minutes.
  3. While the meatballs are cooking, combine the rice with the sesame oil and scallion greens.
  4. Add the turkey and with the fork, mix to combine, being careful not to over-mix.  Roll mixture into 16 evenly sized meatballs, about 1 ounce each, place on a parchment lined sheet pan and set aside until ready to cook. (Thoroughly wash your hands and work surface.)
  5. Add ¾ cup each of rice to 4 bowls.
  6. Spray the air fryer basket generously with olive oil.
  7. Top each with 4 meatballs and ½ cup edamame.
  8. Add the meatballs in an even layer, cooking in batches if needed, and cook at 400 degrees F for 8-10 minutes, turning halfway through cook time.  If cooking in batches, cover the first batch in foil and, if needed, add it back to the air fryer for 1 minute to warm before serving.
  9. Drizzle each with 2 teaspoons soy sauce and a sprinkle of sesame seeds then top with sriracha, if using.
