1. Set the oven to 410F.

3. Season the ground turkey with cumin, sea salt, pepper and garam masala. Thoroughly massage the meat with the seasonings to ensure it is well integrated. Then, form meatballs about the size of golf balls and place them on a nonstick baking sheet.
4. Bake the meatballs in the oven for about 15-20 minutes.
5. While the meatballs are baking, set a nonstick skillet on medium-high heat and add olive oil. When the skillet is hot, toss in garlic, ginger and red onion. Cook the onions until they turn brown and are somewhat translucent, then toss in the thinly sliced red bell peppers and cook for another 2 minutes.
6. Then add the seasonings to the skillet and stir quickly with a spatula for about 2 minutes.
7. Pour in the chicken broth and coconut milk and stir for another 2 minutes. When the sauce comes to a boil, reduce the heat to medium and then add the freshly cooked meatballs. Allow the meatballs to simmer in the sauce for about 5 minutes.
8. Enjoy the meatballs and sauce with fragrant basmati rice.
