- 1 cup panko

- 3 cloves pressed garlic
- 1 ½ tablespoons grated ginger
- 1 tablespoon soy sauce
- 1 tablespoon red curry paste

Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 400°F and spray a baking sheet with cooking spray. Set aside.
- In a large bowl, combine the ground turkey with the egg, panko breadcrumbs, minced green onion, pressed garlic, fish sauce, grated ginger, red curry paste, and salt and pepper. Use a whisk to break the egg yolk and mix everything together until it’s well combined.
- Gently knead the mixture with damp hands until everything is evenly incorporated. Cover and refrigerate the mixture for at least 15 minutes.
- Use a small scoop to form the meatballs into 1-inch balls and place them on a cutting board. Dampen your hands again and lightly shape and roll the meatballs between your palms.
- Place the meatballs evenly spaced on the prepared baking sheet. Bake for about 20 minutes.
- While the meatballs are baking, prepare the coconut curry sauce. In a large skillet, heat the canola oil over medium-high heat. Add the sliced onions and red bell pepper and cook for 3 to 4 minutes.
- Stir in the ginger and red curry paste, cooking for another 2 to 3 minutes.
- Add the coconut milk, brown sugar, and fish sauce. Stir to combine and allow to simmer for about 5 minutes.
- Once the meatballs are done baking, add them to the sauce and cook for another 5 minutes. Taste and adjust seasoning if needed.
- Finally, garnish with chopped cilantro before serving.
