Thai Basil Meatballs with Asian Almond Dipping Sauce

Thai Basil Meatballs 
1.25 lb ground turkey
1.5 cups basil (finely chopped or I put in food processor)
2 cloves garlic (minced or grated)
1 tbsp grated ginger 
1 tsp onion powder
4oz of compliant curry paste (red or green - I used red) if can't find, use 2-3 tbsp of curry powder
1 tbsp coconut aminos
1/2 tsp of fish sauce (most have sugar - red boat is the only brand I have found without. If you can't find, sadly omit)
1/4 tsp salt


Oven at 375
Combine all ingredients
Roll meatballs into small clementine size, place on coconut oil greased dish (or lined with foil or parchment)
Bake for 20 minutes
Serve on cauliflower rice or broccoli slaw with the following dipping sauce

Asian almond dipping (more like smothering) sauce (great as salad dressing too!)
1/2 cup almond butter (you'll have leftovers, but like I said, good salad dressing)
2 tbsp coconut aminos
1 tbsp red chili flakes
1 tbsp sesame oil
5 tbsp water
I added a 1/2 of chili powder to increase the heat 

Mix (or shake - I put in mason jar) and enjoy!
