Instructions
In a large mixing bowl, add the ground chicken or turkey, shallots, green onions, ½ the garlic, ½ the ginger, jalapeno, 1 tablespoon of curry paste, oat flour, cilantro, salt and ground pepper. Use your hands or to combine all of the ingredients together - make sure everything is well incorporated.
Use your hands to form 1 ½ inch meatballs. Set aside on a plate.
Heat the coconut oil in a medium saucepan over medium heat. Add the remaining garlic, ginger and curry paste cook for about 30 seconds. Stir in the lime zest, coconut milk, and broth and bring to a simmer.
Place the meatballs into the pan, cover and simmer for 30 minutes, until the meatballs are cooked. Stir in the spinach or bok choy and cook for another 2 to 3 minutes, until wilted.
Remove the pan from the heat, stir in the lime juice, and add additional seasoning, as needed. Spoon over rice, cauliflower rice, or simply eat on their own!
Notes
Talk about meatballs with flavor! These meatballs are made with poultry so they hit the spot, but are light enough to not weigh you down. A delicious, sauc-y way to pack in some protein.
