Ingredients

Scale

  • 1/4 cup panko breadcrumbs
  • 1 large egg
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 tablespoon grated fresh ginger
  • 1 teaspoon curry powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil
  • 1 onion, chopped
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 tablespoon grated fresh ginger
  • 1 tablespoon red curry paste
  • 1 (13.5 ounce) can full-fat coconut milk
  • 1 tablespoon soy sauce
  • 1 teaspoon brown sugar
  • 1/2 cup chicken broth
  • 1 cup broccoli florets
  • 1/2 cup red bell pepper, chopped
  • Fresh cilantro, for garnish

Instructions

  1. In a large bowl, combine ground turkey, panko breadcrumbs, egg, minced garlic, grated ginger, curry powder, salt, and pepper. Mix gently until just combined.
  2. Roll the mixture into 1-inch meatballs.
  3. Heat olive oil in a large skillet or Dutch oven over medium-high heat. Add meatballs and brown on all sides. Remove meatballs from skillet and set aside.
  4. Add chopped onion to the skillet and cook until softened, about 5 minutes.
  5. Add minced garlic and grated ginger and cook for 1 minute more until fragrant.
  6. Stir in the red curry paste and cook for 1 minute.
  7. Pour in the coconut milk, soy sauce, brown sugar, and chicken broth. Bring to a simmer, scraping up any browned bits from the bottom of the skillet.
  8. Return the meatballs to the skillet. Add broccoli florets and red bell pepper.
  9. Cover and simmer for 15-20 minutes, or until meatballs are cooked through and vegetables are tender.
  10. Serve hot, garnished with fresh cilantro and lime wedges.

Notes

  • For a spicier curry, add more red curry paste.
  • Feel free to add other vegetables like snap peas or carrots.
  • Ensure the meatballs are cooked through to an internal temperature of 165°F (74°C).
