Stir to combine ingredients.
Portion out into 20-24 golf ball sized meatballs.
Place the same skillet you cooked the onions in back on the stovetop over medium heat with the additional tablespoon of olive oil.
Add the meatballs to the skillet and brown on all sides, 2-3 minutes per side.
Place the meatballs in a slow cooker.
Add all of the ingredients for the Thai peanut sauce to a blender or food processor and blend until smooth and creamy.
Pour the sauce over the meatballs in the slow cooker.
Cook on high for 2 hours, or on low for 5-6 hours.
There are many different ways to serve these Thai Peanut Turkey Meatballs.
I added the meatballs to rice bowls with fresh shredded carrots, cilantro and crushed peanuts.
