Method

1

Soak wooden skewers in water for 30 minutes (if using). Preheat grill to medium-high heat.

2

In a large bowl, combine ground turkey, fresh basil, minced ginger, minced garlic, fish sauce, diced red onion, and lime juice. Mix gently with your hands until just combined; do not overmix.

3

Form mixture into 12–16 meatballs (about 1.5 inches diameter). Thread each meatball onto a skewer, alternating with vegetable pieces (zucchini, bell pepper, and red onion chunks).

4

Brush skewers lightly with coconut oil. Place on grill grate and cook 5–6 minutes per side, turning occasionally, until meatballs reach 165°F internal temperature and vegetables are charred at edges.

5

Transfer skewers to a platter. Serve warm with nuoc cham sauce for dipping.
