Instructions
- 1. Add the turkey, panko, egg, 1 tablespoon of curry paste, ground ginger, garlic powder, salt, and pepper to a bowl. Mix until just combined. Roll the meat into 15 to 20 meatballs.
- 2. In a large skillet set over medium heat, add 2 tablespoons butter and the meatballs. Let the butter melt, then cook for 5 minutes, turning them 2-3 times, until crisp.

- 5. Serve the meatballs and sauce over bowls of rice topped with herby/spicy avocado.
