Ingredients

800 grams turkey mince
1 cup panko breadcrumbs
1 egg
½ cup baby spinach chopped
1 tablespoon fresh parsley chopped
½ teaspoon garlic powder
½ teaspoon salt
¼ teaspoon black pepper

For the sauce:

2 tablespoons soy sauce
2 tablespoons honey
1 tablespoon rice wine vinegar
1 tablespoon sirarcha or to taste
1 teaspoon sesame oil
1 teaspoon crushed ginger
1 clove garlic crushed

For the bone broth rice:

1 cup white rice
½ cup bone broth
½ cup water

To serve:

3 cups green beans lightly steamed

Instructions

Preheat the oven to 180°C and line a large baking tray with baking paper.
Place all of the meatball ingredients into a large mixing bowl and use a wooden spoon or your hands to mix everything together until well combined.
Rub a little olive oil onto your hands to prevent the meat from sticking and roll tablespoon amounts of the meat mixture into balls and place on the tray. Repeat until all of the mixture has been used. You should have 30 meatballs in total.
Bake the meatballs for 20 minutes, turning halfway through.
While the meatballs are cooking, add the rice, bone broth and water to a rice cooker and let cook according to the models instructions and prepare and cook the beans.
Make the sauce by combining all of the sauce ingredients in a small saucepan and placing on the stove to bring to a boil. Once boiling, turn the heat down and let it simmer for 2-3 minutes.
Once the meatballs are cooked, add them to a large bowl and pour over the sauce. Toss to combine making sure all of the meatballs are covered in the sauce.
Divide the rice, beans and meatballs between your containers. Place on the lids and put the containers in the fridge until ready to eat.
