GINGER TURKEY MEATBALLS WITH COCONUT BROTH AND NOODLES
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. Feel free to customize to everyone's taste by mixing and matching Options One-Three within your family.

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.

TURKEY MEATBALLS WITH GINGER AND GARLIC
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.
TURKEY MEATBALLS WITH LEMONGRASS AND GINGER
Steps:
- Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Lightly grease a baking sheet. In a small bowl, combine the vinegar, sugar, 1 tablespoon of the fish sauce, Sriracha, cilantro and mint. Whisk until the sugar is dissolved. In a large bowl, combine the turkey, water, remaining 2 tablespoons fish sauce, lemongrass, ginger, garlic and salt. Roll the meat mixture into 1-inch balls and place on the prepared baking sheet. Heat a large nonstick skillet over medium heat. Pour in the oil and heat until shimmering. Add the meatballs and pan-fry, turning them to brown evenly on all sides, about 5 minutes total. Drain on paper towels. Return the meatballs to the baking sheet and bake until cooked through, 3 to 5 minutes. Line a platter with the lettuce leaves and arrange the warm meatballs on top. Garnish with the green onions and serve the sauce on the side.
