I love meatballs for a variety of reasons: they are easy to make in one ounce sizes for portion control, they use ground meat which is generally cheaper, and if I have a couple of leftovers then they serve as tomorrow’s snacks. These red curry turkey meatballs are a little on the spicy side so feel free to reduce the amount of red curry paste or Tabasco or Sriracha and the mayo.
