Thai Curry Turkey Meatballs (Edit recipe)

I love a one pan dish. Especially when it is full of flavor, loaded with vegetables, and uses an inexpensive cut of meat. Win-win-win!

Don’t let the long list of ingredients put you off. It is nothing hard to find or fancy. I promise it worth the time dicing.

If you follow me then you know I adore Thai food. It is spicy, you can adjust the heat to your taste, basically it’s delicious. This recipe has lots of flexibility so have fun with it and use the vegetables that are in season, or you have on hand. It calls for turkey but I’ve made it with ground chicken as well…still yummy.

Process

Note, these instructions are written assuming the standard serving size, since you have modified the number of servings, these steps may need to be modified for best results

Add all meatball ingredients (except oil) into a large bowl.
Using clean hands mix well to combine.
Scoop out about a golfball size or slightly larger and roll to pack.
Place in large skillet on medium heat. Add oil. Cook meatballs until golden brown on each side. Interior temperature should be 160 degrees, about 15 minutes total.
Remove and place on to plate.
Add oil to pan and cook all vegetables for 6-7 minutes. Stir periodically.
Add red curry paste and coconut milk. Stir to combine.
Add meatballs back to the pan and turn heat on to low. Let simmer for 5-10 minutes.
Put arrowroot powder and about a tablespoon of water into a small bowl, stir to dissolve powder. Add to skillet and stir. Let cook 2 minutes. Serve and enjoy.

Notes

You can eat this as is or serve over cauliflower rice or regular rice of your choice. I like Jasmine rice for this dish. It is also yummy when you use ground chicken instead of turkey.
