Cooking Steps
Before starting, preheat the oven to 450˚F. Wash and dry all produce. Peel, then thinly slice shallot. Thinly slice green onions. Peel, then mince or grate 1/2 tbsp ginger (dbl for 4 ppl). Peel, then mince or grate garlic. Cut cucumber into 1/4-inch rounds.
Line a baking sheet with parchment paper. Add turkey, panko, ginger, garlic and Thai Seasoning to a large bowl. Season with salt, then combine. (TIP: If you prefer a firmer meatball, add an egg to the mixture!)Roll mixture into 8 equal-sized meatballs (16 for 4 ppl).
Arrange meatballs on the prepared baking sheet. Bake in the middle of the oven until golden-brown and cooked through, 10-12 min.**
Meanwhile, add vinegar, 1 tbsp oil and 1/4 tsp sugar (dbl both for 4 ppl) to another large bowl. Season with salt and pepper, then whisk to combine. Add cucumbers, shallots, coleslaw cabbage mix and half the green onions. Toss to combine.
Add peanut butter and sesame oil to a medium bowl. Season with salt and pepper, then whisk to combine. Add soy sauce and 1 tbsp hot water (dbl for 4 ppl), then whisk to combine. (NOTE: If the dressing is still too thick, whisk in 1 tsp hot water at a time, until desired consistency is reached.)

Review summary
Updated on Feb 2026- Flavor: Many enjoyed the dish's balanced flavors, but some found the peanut sauce too salty; consider reducing soy sauce for a milder taste.
- Ease of prep: Quick and easy to prepare, with some finding the meatball mixture wet to handle.
- Suggestions: Consider adding less onion to the slaw, and try grilling meatballs instead of baking for a different texture.
- Portions: Several customers noted the coleslaw portion was too small; consider adding extra vegetables to bulk up the meal.
- Meatballs: Some found the turkey meatballs a bit dry or bland; try adding an egg for moisture or adjusting seasoning to taste.
