Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 pound ground turkey
  • 1/4 cup panko breadcrumbs
  • 1 egg
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 tablespoon fresh ginger, grated
  • 1 tablespoon soy sauce
  • 1 tablespoon fish sauce
  • 1 tablespoon lime juice
  • 1 tablespoon curry powder
  • 1 teaspoon ground cumin
  • 1 teaspoon turmeric powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon red pepper flakes (optional)
  • 1 tablespoon coconut oil
  • 1 onion, chopped
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 tablespoon fresh ginger, grated
  • 1 (13.5 ounce) can full-fat coconut milk
  • 1 cup chicken broth
  • 1 tablespoon red curry paste
  • 1 tablespoon brown sugar
  • 1 tablespoon lime juice
  • Salt and pepper to taste
  • Fresh cilantro, chopped, for garnish
  • Cooked rice, for serving

Instructions

  1. In a medium bowl, combine ground turkey, panko breadcrumbs, egg, minced garlic, grated ginger, soy sauce, fish sauce, lime juice, curry powder, cumin, turmeric, and red pepper flakes (if using). Mix gently until just combined.
  2. Roll the mixture into 1-inch meatballs.
  3. Heat coconut oil in a large skillet or Dutch oven over medium-high heat. Add the meatballs and cook until browned on all sides. Remove meatballs from the skillet and set aside.
  4. Add the chopped onion to the same skillet and cook until softened, about 5 minutes.
  5. Add minced garlic and grated ginger to the skillet and cook for 1 minute more until fragrant.
  6. Stir in the coconut milk, chicken broth, red curry paste, brown sugar, and lime juice. Bring to a simmer, scraping up any browned bits from the bottom of the skillet.
  7. Return the meatballs to the skillet. Reduce heat to low, cover, and simmer for 15-20 minutes, or until the meatballs are cooked through and the sauce has thickened.
  8. Season with salt and pepper to taste.
  9. Serve the Thai Turkey Meatballs in Coconut Curry over cooked rice, garnished with fresh cilantro.

Notes

  • For extra flavor, you can add a pinch of sugar to the meatballs mixture.
  • Adjust the red curry paste and red pepper flakes to your preferred spice level.
  • Feel free to add your favorite vegetables like bell peppers or snap peas to the curry.
