Spice meets comfort in this flavorful fusion dish!

Fresh ginger, garlic, and bell peppers add brightness and texture, while the creamy red curry sauce brings everything together.
Ingredients
1 lb ground turkey or chicken
1 tsp gara masala
2 cloves garlic, minced
3 green onions, finely chopped
2 tbs Choil Twisted Thai chili oil
2 tbs sesame oil
3 tbs red curry paste
1 can (14 oz) coconut milk
2 red bell peppers, cut into thin strips
2 inch ginger root grated
Salt and pepper
Cooked jasmine rice
Cilantro and lime for garnish
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 350 degrees
- In a large bowl, add ground turkey, garlic, half of the ginger, one green onion, gara masala, sesame oil, and season with salt and pepper. Mix until well combined.
- Coat your hands with a small amount of cooking oil to prevent the turkey from sticking to your fingers. Scoop 1 tbs of the turkey mixture into your hands, roll into a ball and place on a large baking sheet. Continue until all of the ground turkey is gone, the mixture should make about 16 meatballs.
- Place the meatballs in the oven and cook for about 15 minutes. While you wait for them to cook you can prepare the curry.
- In a large pan or skillet, on medium low heat, warm 2 tbs Twisted Thai chili oil. Once warm, add remaining 2 green onions, bell peppers and ginger. Cook for 3-4 minutes or until the red peppers are tender.
- Add curry paste, stir to combine with the vegetables. Cook for about 1 minute or until it is fragrant. Add in the coconut milk, stir to combine, and bring to a simmer.
- Once the meatballs are done cooking, transfer the meatballs to the coconut curry sauce and allow to simmer for another 5 minutes. Season with salt to taste.
- Serve on top of rice. Squeeze a lime and sprinkle chopped cilantro for a vibrant finish. Also add more ChOil chili crisp for a flavorful and spicy finish!
