Prepare the lemongrass: Trim the top and base of the lemongrass stalks and peel off any dry or tough outer layers. This recipe for Thai Turkey Meatballs with Coconut Lemongrass Sauce, created by chef and friend, MaryAnn Delaney instantly transports me to sunny Thailand with its fragrant aromas and fresh ingredients. The meatballs, made with ground turkey - are not only healthy, they are incredibly flavorful, seasoned with lemongrass, ginger, and shallots. The meatballs are simmered in a Coconut Lemongrass.
Steps to make Chili Lemongrass Meatballs:
- Sweat the onion, shallots, garlic, chilies, and lemongrass in the 2 teaspoons oil in a pre-heated medium pan for 4 minutes or so, or until the onions are translucent.
- Preheat oven to 450F.
- Combine all of the rest of the ingredients with the sweated onions, etc. in a large mixing bowl, and massage all ingredients together until they are just evenly incorporated.
- Line a sheetpan or cookie sheet with foil, and lightly oil the foil.
- Lightly oil your hands and form roughly 1 ¾” meatballs, placing them at least 1.5 inches away from the next meatball in your sheetpan or cookie sheet. The oil not only helps to keep the meatball mixture from sticking to your hands, but it helps the meatball sear more quickly, therefore retaining the juices.
- Place the sheetpan in the oven so that the top of the meatballs is about 4 inches away from the top heat element. (Usually either the first or second rack in most ovens.) Bake for 13 minutes.
- Then turn the oven to broil and broil an additional minute to two minutes to achieve desired browning on top.
- Enjoy! :)
For meatballs: Chill pork in freezer while making lemongrass paste. For the sauce: Heat the peanut oil in the wok over high heat. Add the fish sauce, Sriracha and cooked meatballs and briefly simmer to reheat them in the sauce. Transfer the meatballs to a plate. I love the flavours of Thailand - ginger, chili, garlic, lemongrass, lime - and the perfect balance of sweet-salty-sour-hot that winds its way through the nation's cuisine, singing perfect high notes on your tastebuds.
