1

Preheat oven to 400°F. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.

2

In a large bowl, combine ground turkey, breadcrumbs, egg, red onion, garlic, cilantro, cumin, smoked paprika, red-curry paste, and salt. Mix gently with your hands until just combined, being careful not to overwork the meat.

3

Form mixture into 16–20 balls (about 1.5 inches diameter). Place on prepared baking sheet.

4

Drizzle meatballs lightly with olive oil and bake for 20–25 minutes, until internal temperature reaches 165°F.

5

While meatballs bake, whisk together Greek yogurt, lime juice, and green onion in a small bowl.

6

Transfer cooked meatballs to a serving platter. Serve warm with lime-cilantro sauce on the side or spooned over the top.
