Thai Turkey Meatballs


Recipe From: Laura

Another healthy recipe for the win! Even my pickiest eater who took one bite, quickly requested I make these the next day. 😁  Oh for sure, I will be making these again & again.   The meatballs turned out juicy and the sauce was outta this world!  The turkey  was a nice change from the regular chicken and beef.  Serve meatballs & sauce over a bed of rice . Oh yah.... the only thing I would change is double the sauce.  Sooooo Deeeelish!




1 lb. organic ground turkey or chicken
1/2 cup shredded carrots
1/4 cup scallions, chopped
2 cloves garlic
1 tbsp fresh grated ginger
2 tbsp coconut aminos*see bottom* 
1 1/2 tsp chili paste or chili sauce
Dash fine pink sea salt
Optional: Dash red pepper flakes

Sauce:
1/4 cup coconut aminos*
2 tbsp extra-virgin olive oil or sesame oil
1 clove garlic, crushed
2 tsp fresh grated ginger
1 tsp chili paste or chili sauce
1 tbsp fish sauce  (optional)

Directions:
Preheat oven to 375 .  In a bowl combine all meatball ingredients.
Mix well and form into balls.
Place balls on lined baking sheet and bake for 15-20 minutes.
While baking, combine all sauce ingredients in a small pot over medium heat
Once boiling, stir, and reduce heat to a simmer.
When meatballs are done pour sauce over it, or use sauce as a dipping sauce.

*Coconut aminos is a healthier version of soy sauce. May substitute coconut aminos for soy sauce if thats what you have.*
