Thai Turkey Meatballs With Peanut Sauce - Can be made Vegan!


This meatball recipe is so full of flavor. It's a favorite in our house.  Since I made it the first time, it has stayed in the rotation and has been frequently requested.  I found the recipe on Pinterest.  It was posted by Jo Cooks.  Try this one, you will love it!
To make this dish you will need:
For Meatballs:
1 package ground turkey
4 green onions, chopped
¼ cup chopped cilantro
1 tablespoon fish sauce
1 tablespoon red curry paste
1 cup breadcrumbs
1 egg
salt and pepper to taste
For Peanut Sauce
1 tablespoon sesame oil
1 can (398 ml) coconut milk
1 tablespoon red curry paste
2 tablespoon peanut butter
salt and pepper to taste
1 tbsp brown sugar
pinch of chili flakes
1.)  Preheat oven to 375 F degrees. Place parchment paper over a baking sheet.
2.)  In a medium bowl, mix all the ingredients for the meatballs together. Form the meatballs into small 1 inch balls. Place meatballs on prepared baking sheet and bake for about 30 minutes or until done.
3.)  In the mean time you can make the sauce. Heat the oil in a medium sauce pan or skillet. Add the red curry paste and cook for a couple minutes. Add the remaining ingredients, stir and cook for about 5 minutes.
4.)  Add meatballs to sauce and toss so that the meatballs are fully coated. Garnish with parsley or cilantro.
For the Vegan Meatballs: 
Replace the Ground Turkey with 1 1/2 cup walnuts, 1/2 cup of breadcrumbs and 1/2 oats.  Replace the fish sauce with soy sauce and replace the egg with egg replacer.
