Teriyaki Turkey Meatballs with Bok Choy and Sweet Potato Noodles
Ingredients
Meatballs
- 1 lb 99% extra lean ground turkey
- 1/3 cup panko breadcrumbs
- 1/4 cup green onion diced
- 1 egg
- 2 cloves garlic minced
- 1 tsp fresh ginger grated
Teriyaki Sauce
- 2 tbsp light brown sugar lightly packed
- 2 tbsp hoisin sauce
- 1 tbsp low sodium soy sauce
- 1 tsp sesame oil
- 1 clove garlic minced
- 1/2 tsp fresh ginger grated
Other
- 1 lb baby bok choy halved
- 6 oz sweet potato noodles
- 2 tbsp shallot diced
- 1 1/2 tbsp sesame oil divided
- 2 tsp low sodium soy sauce
- Optional: green onion and sesame seeds for garnish
Instructions
Pre-heat oven to 400 degrees. Line a baking sheet with SILPAT or foil.
Mix all meatball ingredients until just combined. Roll into 1" to 1 1/2" meatballs and place on lined baking sheet. Spray with coconut oil before baking for 12-15 minutes or until cooked through.
While meatballs are baking, combine all sauce ingredients in a small pot. Bring to a boil, then lower to a simmer for 3-5 minutes or until slightly thickened.
Once meatballs are cooked, add to a large bowl and toss with sauce.
Heat 1/2 tbsp sesame oil over medium-high heat. Add shallots and sauté until fragrant. Add bok choy and soy sauce and cover immediately. Cook 1 minute. Uncover and toss bok choy, then cover again and cook until bok choy is tender crisp, about 2-3 minutes.
Bring water to a boil in a small pot, then add sweet potato vermicelli and cook until tender and translucent, about 5 minutes. Drain noodles and immediately toss with remaining 1 tbsp of sesame oil.
Serve meatballs over noodles with bok choy. Garnish with green onions and sesame seeds if desired.

I love your website! It’s perfect for my needs as a diabetic–I can count on healthy recipes and adjust any foods as necessary in a pinch! Thank you so much!
Thanks Jennifer! I’m glad you found me and some recipes you like 🙂
Hi! Would you mind sharing the brand/package of sweet potato noodles you purchase or maybe an alternative? My local grocery doesn’t carry them but maybe I can order them online. Thank you!
Hi Jennifer! I don’t remember the exact brand I used since I just got them at my local Asian market, but these are basically the same thing! https://alexa.design/2orz4wY
