These high-protein, low-fat turkey meatballs are filled with aromatic garlic and ginger for a hearty yet incredibly fresh flavor. We serve the meatballs over a bed of basmati rice along with a coconut curry made from broiled aromatics and red curry paste. These meatballs could also be enjoyed over roasted vegetables or as a soup with a crusty piece of bread. For a creamier sauce, puree the curry in a blender on medium speed for 30 seconds.
