Ingredients
- 500 g ground turkey (lean, 93% or higher)
- 1 medium onion (finely chopped)
- 2 cloves garlic (minced)
- 1 teaspoon ginger (grated)
- 1 large egg white
- 2 teaspoons soy sauce (low-sodium)
- 1 teaspoon sesame oil
- 0.5 teaspoon black pepper
- 2 stalks green onion (thinly sliced)
- 250 ml water
Directions
Step 1
In a mixing bowl, combine the ground turkey, finely chopped onion, minced garlic, grated ginger, egg white, low-sodium soy sauce, sesame oil, and black pepper. Mix thoroughly until all ingredients are well incorporated.
Step 2
Form the turkey mixture into small patties or meatballs, about the size of a golf ball, making roughly 12 to 14 pieces.
Step 3
Prepare a steamer by filling the bottom with 250 ml of water and bringing it to a simmer over medium heat.
Step 4
Place the formed turkey patties or meatballs in a single layer on the steamer basket, ensuring they do not touch each other for even cooking.
Step 5
Cover the steamer with a lid and cook the turkey on medium heat for 15-20 minutes, or until they are fully cooked and reach an internal temperature of 74°C (165°F).
Step 6
Carefully remove the cooked turkey patties or meatballs from the steamer and let them rest for 3-5 minutes.
Step 7
Garnish with thinly sliced green onions before serving. Serve with a side of steamed vegetables or brown rice for a complete meal.
