Instruções

Meatballs

Preheat the oven to 375. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper. Combine all meatball ingredients in a large bowl and mix well using your hands.

Note from andie: I usually just brown the meatball mixture like ground beef instead of forming balls (because im lazy). Then I dump it in the sauce, when sauce is done.

Form 1.5 inch balls (it should make about 12) and place onto the lined baking sheet. Bake the meatballs for 20 minutes

Sauce

Meanwhile, heat the coconut oil over medium high heat. Add onion, garlic, and red pepper. Saute until the onion becomes translucent, about 5-7 minutes. Add the red curry paste and stir for about 1-2 minutes. Add the coconut milk and stir to combine. Bring to a boil and reduce heat down to low.

When the meatballs are done, add them to the sauce and simmer for 1-2 additional minutes. Serve over caulirice, carrot noodles, or whatever you want! Sprinkle with fresh cilantro. Enjoy!

Notas

I don’t usually form the meatballs because I’m lazy… I just brown the turkey (just like ground beef) and dump into the sauce. It honestly is better this way.
