Ginger Turkey Meatballs with Coconut Broth and Noodles image

This healthy turkey meatball and noodle dish has an irresistible Thai-inspired twist and offers three options for plating. Option One serves the flavorful meatballs, vegetables, and noodles "plain" (without broth)-perfect for kids or less adventurous eaters. Option Two transforms the dish into a savory noodle bowl with a rich and aromatic coconut broth, which appeals to a wide range of palates. And for those who like it hot, opt for Option Three; whisk in store-bought Thai red curry paste and finish the dish with a ton of fresh toppings.

For the meatballs and noodles:
1 large egg
1 pound ground turkey
1/2 cup panko (Japanese breadcrumbs) or fresh breadcrumbs
1 scallion, finely chopped
1 garlic clove, finely grated
1 tablespoon low-sodium soy sauce or tamari
1 teaspoon finely grated peeled ginger
1/2 teaspoon kosher salt, plus more
6 ounces sugar snap peas, strings removed
1 medium red, yellow, or orange bell pepper, seeds and ribs removed, sliced into 1/4"-thick strips
4 ounces dried rice noodles, such as pad Thai noodles
2 teaspoons virgin coconut or neutral vegetable oil
For the broth:
1 tablespoon virgin coconut or neutral vegetable oil
2 garlic cloves, finely grated
1 1/2 tsp. finely grated peeled ginger
1 1/2 cups canned unsweetened coconut milk
1 1/2 cups low-sodium chicken broth
2 tablespoons fresh lime juice
1 tsp. soy sauce
3/4 tsp. kosher salt
1/4 cup Thai red curry paste (optional)
Lime wedges, basil leaves, sliced scallion, sliced red chiles, chopped peanuts (for serving; optional)

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 425°F. Line a rimmed baking sheet or 13x9" glass or metal baking dish with parchment.
  • Beat egg in a large bowl with a fork. Add turkey, panko, scallion, garlic, soy sauce, ginger, and 1/2 tsp. salt and stir well to combine. Using your hands, roll mixture into 1" balls, packing firmly (you should have about 30). Transfer to prepared baking sheet.
  • Roast meatballs, turning once halfway through, until firm and cooked through and an instant-read thermometer inserted into center of meatball registers 165°F, 15-20 minutes.
  • Meanwhile, cook snap peas and bell pepper in a medium pot of boiling well-salted water 2 minutes. Transfer to a colander with a spider, slotted spoon, or tongs, reserving water in pot. Transfer to a medium bowl. Return water to a boil and cook noodles according to package directions. Drain noodles, then transfer to a large bowl and toss with oil.
  • Option 1: For turkey meatballs, plain noodles, and vegetables:
  • To make plain noodles with no broth, divide noodles among bowls and top with meatballs, snap peas, and bell pepper, or separate into different sections on a plate.
  • Option 2: For a mild coconut broth noodle bowl:
  • Heat oil in a medium pot over medium. Add garlic and ginger and cook, stirring constantly, until fragrant, 30-60 seconds. Add coconut milk, broth, lime juice, soy sauce, and salt. Increase heat to medium-high and bring to a simmer. Cook, stirring occasionally, 5 minutes, then remove from heat.
  • Divide noodles among bowls. Ladle broth over and top with meatballs, snap peas, and bell pepper.
  • Option 3: For a spicy red curry noodle bowl (optional):
  • Whisk curry paste into coconut broth mixture (or keep half of broth "plain" to make 2 mild bowls, and whisk 2 Tbsp. curry paste into remaining half to make 2 spicy bowls).
  • Divide noodles among bowls. Ladle broth over and top with meatballs, snap peas, and bell peppers. Garnish with lime wedges, basil, scallions, chiles, peanuts, if using.
  • Do Ahead
  • Meatballs and broth can be made 3 days ahead. Store separately and chill.

Provided by Megan Mitchell

Categories     appetizer

Time 25m

Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 11

1 pound dark meat ground turkey
3/4 cup panko breadcrumbs
3 tablespoons low-sodium soy sauce
1 teaspoon freshly grated ginger
1 teaspoon toasted sesame oil
2 scallions, minced
1 clove garlic, minced
Vegetable oil, for shallow frying
2 tablespoons honey
1 tablespoon sambal oelek
1 tablespoon rice wine vinegar

Steps:

  • Make the meatballs: In a medium bowl, combine the ground turkey, panko, soy sauce, ginger, sesame oil, scallions and garlic. Mix thoroughly and set aside.
  • Heat 1/4 inch of oil in a large, high-sided cast-iron pan over medium heat.
  • Using a small ice cream or cookie scoop, scoop the ground turkey mixture and roll in your hands to make 1-inch meatballs. Cook the meatballs in a single layer in the heated oil until brown all over and cooked through, 7 to 8 minutes. (Alternatively, you can brown the meatballs in the oil then bake in a preheated 350 degree F oven to finish cooking for 5 to 6 minutes.)
  • Meanwhile, make the sauce: In a small bowl, combine the honey, sambal and vinegar. Whisk together and set aside.
  • Remove the meatballs from the oil and drain on a paper-towel-lined plate. Serve warm with the sweet and spicy dipping sauce.

Tips:

  • Mise en Place: Before you start cooking, make sure you have all of your ingredients and equipment ready. This will help the cooking process go more smoothly.
  • Use a Good Quality Coconut Broth: The coconut broth is a key ingredient in this dish, so make sure you use a good quality one. Look for a broth that is rich and flavorful.
  • Season the Meatballs Well: The meatballs are the star of this dish, so make sure you season them well. Use a combination of salt, pepper, garlic, and ginger to create a flavorful and aromatic dish.
  • Don't Overcook the Meatballs: The meatballs should be cooked through, but not overcooked. Overcooked meatballs will be tough and dry.
  • Add Vegetables to the Broth: Feel free to add your favorite vegetables to the coconut broth. Some good options include carrots, celery, onions, and bok choy.
  • Serve with Rice or Noodles: This dish is traditionally served with rice or noodles. You can also serve it with a side of steamed vegetables.
