Why These Teriyaki Meatball Bowls Are A Weeknight Winner

Easy, gluten free, and packed with protein—these teriyaki meatball bowls come together in just 30 minutes. Juicy turkey meatballs are baked until golden, then tossed in a sticky, sweet-savory teriyaki sauce with a hint of chili crunch. Serve over rice or cauliflower rice for a meal that’s as delicious as it is wholesome. (Not my video, from Cassia Sian.)

Directions

  1. Preheat the oven: Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
  2. Mix the meatball ingredients: In a large bowl, combine the ground turkey, gluten free breadcrumbs, minced garlic, chopped green onions, egg, salt, pepper, and chili powder to taste. Mix until everything is well combined.
  3. Form the meatballs: Roll the mixture into 2-inch balls and place them on the prepared baking sheet.
  4. Bake: Bake for 20 minutes, or until the meatballs are cooked through and lightly browned.
  5. Make the sauce: While the meatballs bake, mix together the teriyaki sauce, gluten free soy sauce, a splash of maple syrup, and chili crunch in a small bowl.
  6. Toss and thicken: Transfer the cooked meatballs to a pan over high heat. Pour the sauce over the meatballs and toss until the sauce thickens and coats the meatballs evenly.
  7. Serve: Serve the meatballs over rice or cauliflower rice. Garnish with extra green onions and enjoy!

Pro Tips

  • Don’t overmix: Mix the meatball ingredients just until combined—overmixing can make them tough.
  • Gluten free friendly: Use gluten free breadcrumbs and soy sauce to keep this recipe completely gluten free.
  • Adjust the heat: Add more or less chili powder and chili crunch depending on your spice preference.
  • Meal prep hero: These meatballs are perfect for meal prep—make a batch and reheat throughout the week.
  • Swap the protein: Ground chicken, pork, or beef all work great in place of turkey.
