Instructions
Preheat oven to 400º F. Line a large baking pan with aluminum foil; set aside.
Combine broccoli slaw and onion in food processor; chop to coarse consistency. Transfer mixture to a large bowl and add turkey, salt, pepper, teriyaki marinade, panko crumbs, ginger and egg white to bowl. Mix ingredients until blended. Form 24 meatballs about 1-inch thick each. Spray foil lined pan with cooking spray. Place meatballs 2-inches apart on baking pan; lightly spray meatballs with cooking spray. Bake 18 to 20 minutes or until meatballs are cooked through.
Meanwhile, combine 3 tbsp chicken broth and raisins in food processor; process mixture until coarsely chopped. Add Oregon plums; puree to almost smooth then transfer mixture to a 2-qt. saucepan. Add remaining broth, honey, teriyaki marinade, ginger and peanut butter to saucepan. Stir together. Cook over medium-high heat until mixture begins to bubble. Reduce heat to low and simmer until meatballs have baked. Add baked meatballs to sauce then increase heat to medium-low. Cook 15 minutes for flavors to blend, stirring occasionally.
Serve over a bed of hot white rice and sprinkle with peanuts.
