Thai Curry Turkey Meatballs

I love a one pan dish. Especially when it is full of flavor, loaded with vegetables, and uses an inexpensive cut of meat. Win-win-win!

Don’t let the long list of ingredients put you off. It is nothing hard to find or fancy. I promise it worth the time dicing.

If you follow me then you know I adore Thai food. It is spicy, you can adjust the heat to your taste, basically it’s delicious. This recipe has lots of flexibility so have fun with it and use the vegetables that are in season, or you have on hand. It calls for turkey but I’ve made it with ground chicken as well…still yummy.
