Scale
- 1 pound ground beef or turkey
- 2 tablespoons jerk seasoning
- 1/2 cup breadcrumbs

Instructions
- Combine the ingredients: In a large mixing bowl, combine ground meat, jerk seasoning, breadcrumbs, egg, green onions, salt, and pepper. Use your hands to mix everything until it’s well integrated, but don’t overwork it.
- Shape the meatballs: Form the mixture into one-inch meatballs.
- Brown the meatballs: Heat vegetable oil in a skillet over medium heat. Carefully add the meatballs, browning them on all sides for about 7-10 minutes.
- Prepare the sauce: In a separate pot, whisk together the coconut milk, curry powder, soy sauce, and brown sugar until smooth.
- Simmer with meatballs: Add the browned meatballs to the sauce. Allow them to simmer for about 15-20 minutes.
- Serve: Serve the meatballs warm, garnished with fresh cilantro.
Notes
You can make the meatballs a day in advance and store them in the fridge. When ready, just drop them into the simmering sauce.
