serves 6-8
1 lb ground turkey
1 lb ground turkey sausage*
1 tsp curry powder
2 tsp ground basil
¼ tsp ground ginger
½ tsp garlic powder
¾ cup almond flour
1 egg, beaten
2 Tbsp coconut oil
1 medium yellow onion, chopped
1 red bell pepper, chopped
2 garlic cloves, crushed
2 Tbsp chopped fresh ginger
3 Tbsp Thai red curry paste
1 14 oz can + ¾ cup full fat coconut milk
⅓ cup chopped fresh basil
1 tsp salt + more to taste
Preheat oven to 375.
Mix together ground turkey and sausage in a medium sized bowl. In a smaller bowl, mix together curry powder, basil, ginger, garlic powder, and almond flour. Add to the meat and incorporate well. Add the egg. Form the meatballs into 1 -1.5 inch diameter balls, and place on a large baking sheet. Bake for 20 minutes.
While meatballs are cooking, make the sauce. Heat a large skillet to medium high heat, add coconut oil. Add the chopped veggies: onion, bell pepper, garlic, and ginger. Cook for 5-7 minutes until onion is translucent. Add curry paste and stir until combined. Slowly add coconut milk, stirring while you pour. Reduce heat to medium and simmer for 10 minutes. Add salt, and more to taste if needed.
Add meatballs to the sauce, and cook for another 5 minutes. Finish off with fresh basil.
Serve hot over spaghetti squash, noodles, zoodles, rice, or cauliflower rice.
NOTES: Turkey sausage can be hard to find without fillers and added sugar. You can also use ground pork, or all ground turkey as a replacement.
