Meatballs with Peanut Sauce

A healthy alternative to beef meat balls with a modern Thai twist. 

Ingredients 
Lean Turkey - 500 gm (less than 7% fat)
2 tbsp finely chopped coriander
4 tbsp garlic and ginger mashed
1/4 cup of fish sauce
1/4 cup of coconut oil
1 red chilli (de-seeded) finely chopped
2 tbsp of crunchy peanut butter
half a tbsp. brown sugar 
1/4 coconut cream
1 tsp chopped basil

Step 1: Mix the turkey mince, ginger , fish sauce, coriander and half of the garlic together.  This should form a thick batter.  Add pinch of salt and pepper to flavour. 

Step 2: Heat up a pan to a medium heat and add oil. Whilst the pan is warming up, roll out small balls from the mixture. 

Step 3: Shallow fry the balls, flipping them around as they cook until they reach a golden brown colour.

Step 4: Cook remaining ingredients except for the basil (Coconut oil, Chilli, crunchy peanut butter, Brown sugar, coconut cream) on a medium heat. Then stir in chopped basil for completion.
