We made the Coconut Curry Turkey Meatballs like we did on 2017-01-20. They were so dry last time that I:

• Used 93% lean turkey (instead of 99%)
• Used a real egg
• Added a scant 2 tbsp of olive oil.

This seemed to work pretty well. Between those changes and making them a bit bigger (only made 34 this time). Like last time, I finely chopped some basil for the dried basil and, since it needed spice last time, I added a finely chopped serrano pepper.

I made the meatballs on Sunday. Today, Meredith made the sauce using the recipe with the only change being the addition of two serranos.

We really wanted to use Thai basil and Thai chile peppers, but didn't feel like going all the way to the asian market.

The extra fat helped and the spice was good, though it could have used more still.

We served it on cauliflower rice.

Good and easy meal!
