These thai turkey meatballs were one of my favorite discoveries while I was playing around with keto. I am no longer on keto, but this is a super easy and healthy dinner recipe that I share with a lot of my clients!
For Meatballs:
1 lb ground turkey
1/2 cup zucchini, shredded & liquid squeezed out
2 tbsp green onions, finely chopped
1 tbsp basil, finely chopped
2 tsp ginger, diced
2 garlic cloves, diced
1 tsp red curry paste
1 tsp fish sauce
1 tbsp coconut milk (canned)
For the Sauce:
1 cup coconut milk (canned)
2 tbsp tomato paste
2 tsp red curry paste
1/2 tsp fish sauce
Directions:
1. Shred the squash cover with salt and let sit for 10 min
2. In a medium bowl, combine the meatball ingredients and mix with your hands thoroughly. Make 16 meatballs by spooning heaping 1 tbsp of mixture and rolling between your hands. Lay on a cutting board or plate. Set aside.
3. In a small bowl, whisk together sauce ingredients and set aside.
4. Preheat large skillet on medium-high heat
5. Add 2 tbsp avocado oil
6. Add meatballs and sear each side 2-3 minutes- no need to cook the meatballs through.
