Instructions

Step 1

In a large mixing bowl, combine ground turkey, mushrooms, green onions, carrots, egg, garlic, cilantro, fish sauce, coconut aminos, black pepper, salt, and crushed red pepper.

Step 2

Add oil to a large nonstick pan over medium heat. Form the meat into balls with your hands, and place them into the hot pan one at a time.

Step 3

Let the meatballs cook for 2-3 minutes, or until the bottom has a nice sear. Then use tongs to flip to another side. Cook each additional side for another 2-3 minutes, or until all sides are seared and the internal temperature reaches 165 degrees, about 10 minutes.

Step 4

Once the meatballs are done, remove the pan from the heat and set aside. Combine the aioli ingredients in a food processor and process until smooth. Serve with the meatballs, and enjoy!
