Preparation:

Step 1
• Preheat the oven to 350°F and line a baking sheet with foil. In a large bowl, combine the ground turkey, breadcrumbs, egg, 1/2 cup cilantro, grated onion, 2 teaspoons ginger, and 1/2 teaspoon salt. Mix well with your hands. Form 20 meatballs (about 2 inches each) and transfer to the prepared baking sheet. Set aside.
Step 2
• Heat the olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add the chopped onion, bell pepper, and a pinch of salt. Cook, stirring occasionally, for about 5 minutes, until the vegetables are softened and browned. Add the remaining 1 teaspoon of ginger and curry powder.
  
  Cook, stirring, for 1 minute. Add tomatoes, 1.5 cups water, and 1/4 teaspoon salt and bring to a boil. Reduce heat and simmer for about 3 minutes, until thickened.
Step 3
• Meanwhile, fry the meatballs for about 5 minutes. Pour the sauce over the meatballs. Cover and simmer for 7 minutes, until the sauce thickens. Add half the cilantro and season with salt. Serve the vindaloo with the meatballs and sauce over rice, garnished with the remaining cilantro.
