Thai Turkey Meatballs

Prep Time: 10 minutes
Cook Time: 20 minutes
Total Time: 30 minutes
Yield: 24 meatballs

Ingredients
 

Meatballs:

  • 1 pound 93/7 ground turkey
  • 1 pound chicken sausage
  • 1/2 yellow onion, finely diced
  • 2 tsp minced garlic
  • 2 tsp grated lemongrass
  • 2 tsp grated ginger
  • 1 tbsp chopped Thai basil, regular basil is fine if you can't find it
  • 1 tbsp chopped cilantro
  • 1 tsp fish sauce
  • 1/2 jalapeno, finely diced
  • 1 egg

Green Curry Sauce:

  • 2 tsp coconut oil
  • 1/4 cup finely diced onions
  • 1 tsp grated lemongrass
  • 1 tsp grated ginger
  • 1 tsp minced garlic
  • 1/2 finely diced jalapenos
  • 1 tbsp green curry paste
  • 1 can coconut milk
  • 1 tbsp lime juice
  • 1/2 tsp fish sauce

Instructions
 

  • Preheat oven to 400 degrees F. Grease two large baking sheets or line with parchment paper.
  • Mix together all ingredients for the meatballs in a large bowl. I recommend using your hands to make sure everything is thoroughly combined.
  • Use an ice cream scoop to create evenly sized meatballs (or use your hands). Drop onto prepared cookie sheets.
  • Bake meatballs for 20 minutes, until completely cooked through.
  • While the meatballs are cooking, prepare the sauce. Heat coconut oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add onions. Cook for 2-3 minutes. Add lemongrass, ginger, garlic, and jalapenos. Cook for 3-4 minutes until veggies have softened.
  • Add the curry paste and cook for an additional 1-2 minutes, until fragrant.
  • Add coconut milk, lime juice, and fish sauce to skillet. Reduce heat to medium-low and simmer for 10 minutes.
  • When meatballs are done baking, add them to the sauce. Simmer for 2-3 minutes.
  • Serve over cauliflower rice, white rice, or roasted veggies.
