Potsticker Meatballs Please!

I have probably the best hubby out there.. 

I was in NO MOOD to cook.. but was having a hankering for asian food and I found a pin on pinterest for some potsticker meatballs and I was sold!  So, I batted some puppy dog eyes at the hubby and asked him if he would make them for me.  :)  He did, with no whining.. he's awesome! 

These suckers are AWESOME and were so great for my 10 month old which right now only has 2 bottom teeth.  I just pinched off little pieces and he gobbled them up, along with the baked sweet potato.  My 4 year old daughter also found them yummy! 

I adapted my recipe from  Saving Dinner since I didnt have everything for it.  

This is my version :)  

Potsticker Meatballs 

1 pound ground turkey
2 small carrots, grated
2 tablespoons Mrs. Dash Onion and Herb Seasoning 
2 cloves garlic, minced
3 tablespoons olive oil
2 tablespoons Gluten Free Soy Sauce
1 teaspoon fresh grated ginger root
Sea salt and freshly ground black pepper to taste
Pinch red pepper flakes
1/4 cup almond flour
1 egg, beaten
3 tablespoons coconut oil

The original recipe calls for cilantro, and I was sad we didnt have that, cause it would have made a great addition! 

Instructions:
Preheat oven to 400 degrees.

In a medium bowl, mix together all the ingredients except for the coconut oil. Scoop out a little of the mixture at a time to roll into medium sized meat balls. Lay the meat balls out on a clean sheet pan.

In a large skillet, heat the coconut oil over medium-high heat. Brown the meat balls in batches on all sides. Remove the browned meatballs with a slotted spoon and place back on the sheet pan.

Once all the meatballs have been browned place the sheet pan in the oven and bake for 10-15 minutes, or until the meatballs are cooked through. Remove from the oven and serve.

I served ours with baked Japanese sweet potatoes and steamed snap peas!

ENJOY!
