Raise your hand if you are a lover of Thai food!!!!

Well, if your hands are raised, you’re going to LOVE these Thai turkey meatballs with peanut sauce that’s for sure!

Both of my hands would be raised and I would be jumping up and down right now because I am seriously in love with all different types of Thai food. Lately when Tom and I are looking to order take-out, I’m begging and jumping up and down for it to be Thai food and besides these meatballs, I love making my Easy Chicken Pad Thai Recipe!

All of the different coconut curries with creamy sauce and tons of fresh vegetables, and then delicious rice to soak up all of the juice just gives me the feels and is making me crave Thai food right now.

We celebrated my mom’s birthday a few nights ago and I immediately knew I wanted to make her these meatballs (with my healthy chocolate chip cookie skillet to be served after!!) because I knew she would love them. Especially with a peanut sauce on top, which I literally could take a bottle of it to the face.

I prepped them earlier in the morning and then just made some fresh spaghetti noodles and zoodles to put as the base of the meatballs. The seriously come out so juicy every single time and are such a crowd pleaser.

They are super easy to prep ahead because all you need is:

  • Ground turkey (I prefer a 85/15 fat version)
  • Coconut flour (or almond flour)
  • Egg
  • Grated carrots
  • Green onion
  • Ginger (fresh or dried)
  • Coconut aminos or soy sauce
  • Salt

That’s it!

The peanut sauce is super easy to prepare too and makes this dish truly delicious!

    Yum! This was so good! I added a little sesame oil to the sauce and it had even better flavor. Was great with cauliflower rice or spaghetti squash.

    WOW! Just wow. I made these for my whole house and everyone loved every single bite. We served it over Angel Hair Banza pasta and it was amazing. I couldn’t be happier with this recipe :). Thanks so much for helping me mix things up when we’re trying to be healthy!

    So quick, easy and full of flavor!! I followed the recipe exactly and it was perfect. I put them over some rice noodles I had left over from making your Pad Thai and it was a perfect meal. My husband is not a huge peanut fan so this was a gamble, but he loved them too. Thanks Erin!!!

    Rarely do I find a recipe all 5 of my kids not only eat but LOVE – this one hit the jackpot! I added a bit more coconut flour because my meatballs were sticky and served with broccoli. We will be making this again!

    I love these so much! Do you include scallions in the turkey mixture or just top with scallions?
