- While the meatballs are cooking, add the two tablespoons of oil to a large saute pan along with the julienned bell pepper and yellow onion. Saute until slightly soft, about two minutes. Add the grated ginger, minced garlic and the curry paste. Saute again for two minutes
- Once the curry paste has been in the pan for about two minutes, add the canned coconut milk and fish sauce and bring to a slow boil. Allow to simmer for about ten minutes. Once the curry has thickened slightly, add the lime zest and the turkey meatballs. Serve with your favorite sides and enjoy!
