meatballs with my mama♥️: Butterball Savory Coconut Curry Meatballs
/this recipe is super special to me cause i made it with my mommy ♥️. she was over visiting her grand babies and we did a “meatballs with mom” kinda thing for dinner one night! we used Butterball Farm to Family lean ground turkey and made my dairy-free Savory Coconut Curry Meatballs.
Sonny was our camera man of course and kept us laughing the entire time!
my mom was my first blog reader and i’m sure she has read every single post since i started in 2012. many people think i grew up cooking for my family but nope. i watched my mom do her thing (she was a SAHM until my brother and i were in middle school) and i only helped her in the kitchen when she asked. other than that I was outside playing basketball or skateboarding in the front yard, ha. i was taking mental notes though! let’s just say once i got married and was on my own, it all came back to me. i knew exactly what to do! to this day, I still try to duplicate some of the recipes she made and call/text her often for the ingredients.
does this meal look complicated!? fancy, yes, difficult, no way! here’s how easy it is:
1st: dice up all the veggies
2nd: make the meatballs, roll them, bake them up
3rd: make the coconut curry sauce while the meatballs bake
4th: combine everything🙌🏽
Chiso is our pickiest eater and he loved this plate. y’all know i’ve been using my Ninja Foodie as much if not more than my air fryer, and it can pressure cook white rice in 2 minutes ( + the time it takes for the pressure to build up). crazy, right!? but that quick turnaround time is everything on a weeknight when you need something yummy, wholesome, and on the table fast.
you can serve these meatballs over cauliflower rice for a low-carb option, and you can even add veggies to the sauce (spinach🍃 would be a great option). i chose basmati rice cooked in chicken stock + onion powder & garlic powder.
you guys please be sure to check out my Instagram and Facebook to see my mommy and i make this dish together!
Butterball takes pride in their products and the care their farmers put into raising healthy turkeys.
I think it’s super cool that you can scan the QR code on the new Farm to Family packaging to get to know some of the Butterball farmers a little better.
this. sauce. 🤤 ridiculously good.
ready?
