The time has finally come!! I have made these a few times and once posted the recipe on my snap chat (kelsmcgins), but for some reason hadn’t posted it here! When I decided to make Zucchini Pad Thai I thought these bad boys would go perfectly on top.
This sauce is BONKERS good too. It’s a lot like the sauce I used in my Curry Almond Butter Chicken Salad! How could coconut oil, almond butter and curry powder not be amazing together? Healthy fats for the win!
On another note. I finally bought the Minimalist Baker’s food photography school! It is one of those purchases I have been dying to make and am so glad I did. Like those garnishes? I am about to garnish this WHOLE BLOG like mad. It just makes everything more fun right? Like WOW. She threw stuff all over those meatballs like she doesn’t even care about that burlap placemat. WHAT A BALLER!
You thought that right? No? Hmmm…
GARNISH!!! And sauce drizzle. I am a sucker for a good drizzle.
These zoodles though!!
Pin it!!

You sure rocked the garnishes! Photos look amazing – as do these BALLZ! SO complex – I must try these asap and mix up my typical meatball routine!

I loveee turkey meatballs and these sound like they’re packed full of flavour! Yum!
Definitely!! You have to give them a try! 🙂
Absolutely delicious…it makes food new again (and eating well even better)!
So glad to hear! They are one of my favorites! 🙂
How many servings would you say this feeds?
It makes about 4 servings!!
Kelsey, these are AH-MAY-ZING! The only problem with them is that I just embarrassed myself licking the remainder of the dipping sauce out of my little lunch container at the office. Thank you for the amazing recipe!
Haha YAY!! Seriously that sauce is addicting!! 🙂 So glad you loved it!!
Hi! I just discovered a load of food allergies and am trying Whole30 for the first time. This recipe looks delicious but I’m allergic to egg whites (cooked or raw). How would you recommend replacing the egg in the meatballs? Thanks!
Hmmm You can add a tablespoon of nut butter instead!
Looks great! Ready to try. What curry powder do you use as all curries aren’t created equal. We are island people (I cook regularly with Jamaican and Trinidadian curries but I also love Asian curries…hubby does not like the latter).
