Tender, juicy meatballs simmered in a sweet and tangy honey balsamic glaze — this One-Pot Turkey Meatball Recipe is one of those meals that feels fancy but is secretly weeknight simple.

Everything cooks in just one pot, which means minimal cleanup and maximum flavor. These meatballs are naturally gluten-free, protein-packed, and perfect for pairing with rice, roasted veggies, or even zoodles. Plus, they’re made with clean, real-food ingredients — just the way we like it here in the Healthy Fast Food at Home kitchen.

Ingredients:

For the meatballs:

• 1 lb ground turkey

• 1 egg

• ¼ cup almond flour or oat flour

• 1 clove garlic, minced

• ½ tsp onion powder

• ½ tsp salt

• ¼ tsp black pepper

For the honey balsamic glaze:

• 2 tbsp balsamic vinegar

• 1½ tbsp honey

• 1 tbsp coconut aminos or low-sodium soy sauce

• 1 clove garlic, minced

• ½ tsp Dijon mustard

• ¼ cup water

Instructions:

1. Make the meatballs
   In a bowl, combine ground turkey, egg, almond flour, garlic, onion powder, salt, and pepper. Mix gently and form into 1½-inch balls.

2. Sear the meatballs
   Heat 1 tbsp olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add meatballs in a single layer and cook for 5–6 minutes, turning to brown on all sides. (Don’t worry if they’re not fully cooked yet.)

3. Add the glaze
   Whisk together all glaze ingredients. Pour into the skillet with the meatballs. Bring to a gentle simmer, cover, and cook for 8–10 minutes until the meatballs are cooked through and the sauce thickens.

4. Glaze & serve
   Uncover, spoon sauce over the meatballs, and let simmer uncovered for 2 more minutes. Garnish with chopped parsley and serve hot!
