Sweet Chili Turkey Meatballs

Step 1

Preheat oven to 400 F.

Step 2

In a large mixing bowl, combine ground turkey with green onions, garlic, ginger, curry paste (if using), fish sauce, breadcrumbs, egg, and salt. Mix well to form into a uniform consistency. Set aside for at least 20 minutes or refrigerate overnight to allow all the flavors to infuse better.

Step 3

Take 2 tablespoons of the turkey mixture at a time and roll into meatballs. Transfer the meatballs onto a parchment-lined half sheet baking pan and lightly coat with some oil to keep them from sticking, if needed.

Step 4

Bake for 18-20 minutes until fully cooked through and the internal temperature reaches 165F as read on a meat thermometer. Set aside.

Step 5

In a shallow saucepan, whisk together vinegar, water, sugar, garlic, chili paste, and cornstarch until sugar and cornstarch is fully dissolved.

Step 6

Keep stirring and heat the mixture over medium heat until thickened to a desired consistency, about 4-5 minutes.

Step 7

Add the baked meatballs and toss well to coat evenly. Serve immediately with extra sweet chili sauce on the side, or over white rice and veggies.
