I’m typing this up from a hotel room in Richmond, VA on Sunday morning.  Hope you guys are having (had?) a great weekend!

We’ve been traveling a lot this month, which is why I haven’t been posting as much as usual.  I’m looking forward to getting back to a normal schedule in September though, and have lots of great low carb recipes to share!

Also, the new IBIH logo is complete, and we’re getting to work on a more efficient site layout for IBIH next!  I’m VERY excited about introducing you guys to the new and improved I Breathe I’m Hungry!

As if that weren’t enough, Mr. Hungry and I have been hard at work on a new project that we’ll be rolling out in the next few weeks!  More to come on that soon!  So yeah, it’s been a REALLY busy (but awesome) Summer for the Hungry’s!

Meanwhile, even though I’ll be on the road all day tomorrow, I wanted to be sure to get this post scheduled because THESE MEATBALLS ARE SO YUMMAY!

Delicious green curry sauce adorns tender turkey meatballs for the perfect low carb dinner recipe!
I made them on Thursday before we left, and I still have a few in the fridge awaiting my arrival by lunchtime on Monday.  I’m pretty excited about it, and once you make them you’ll know why!

These low carb curry meatballs are perfectly balanced with a coconut milk base that is sweet, salty, and spicy all at once!  The biggest problem is going to be portion control, because I’m pretty sure you’ll want to eat the entire batch when you taste them!

Green Curry Turkey Meatballs - sweet, spicy, coconutty perfection!!!
This sauce is so flavorful that I didn’t even season my riced cauliflower before eating it together with the meatballs and sauce.  I simply grated it and microwaved it for about 5 minutes to soften it slightly – then I placed the meatballs on top and spooned about 1/4 cup of the sauce over it for a super comforting and hearty meal.

    What could you substitute for the powdered coconut cream?

    Can this recipe be done without the sugar?

      There is no sugar in this recipe, only carb free sugar substitute. You can omit that but the balance of flavors would definitely be off in my opinion!

    Just FYI, the coconut milk powder you link to is actually coconut cream powder which has added glucose syrup. 15g of carbs per 30g. I know this because I ordered from the link and am now stuck with a product I can’t use. Unfortunately, nutritional info isn’t posted on Amazon.

    Hi Mellissa! Looking forward to trying this recipe. Do you have a substitution recommendation for the powdered coconut milk? I haven’t seen it in stores and I wouldn’t have it from Amazon in time to make it on Monday. I tried googling without much luck. Thank you!

    mellissa, these look SO GOOD! honestly, anyone says curry to me and i’m totally there. meatballs? even better, because that means easy and i don’t have to think about it. I have every single ingredient for these in my kitchen right now, which means there’s a large chance they show up tonight for dinner. :)

    These look awesome! I’ve never heard of powdered coconut before. Will have to check it out! Any particular reason for using turkey instead of higher-fat beef or pork or is it a taste preference?

      The turkey is neutral tasting so the green curry flavor really comes through! Pork would also be great, beef would be my last choice but would work if it’s what you have!
