Thai Red Curry Turkey Meatballs

I happened upon this Thai Red Curry Turkey Meatballs recipe in The Perfect Pantry blog a little while ago and immediately knew I had to try making it myself!  I think they turned out quite good.

The only mistake I made was overseasoning the meatballs!  The recipe had stated that ground turkey tends to be bland, so I did not hold back.  Turns out I should have heeded the advice to use just half of seasoning and add more after tasting.  These meatballs had a particularly strong curry flavor, and they were spicy too, even though I didn't expect them to be.  I might have to use a little less curry paste next time along with less salt.  Still, I was quite happy with them.  I paired the meatballs with a simple curry rice (just jasmine rice with  Madras curry powder and raisins added before cooking) and it was delicious.

  1. I'm so glad you tried this recipe, and I hope you'll try again with less curry paste . Curry paste really varies with freshness, and brand, but once you find what's the right amount for you, then you will be absolutely addicted, as we are!
