Just made turkey meatballs out of 500g turkey mince, 1 half diced onion, 2tsp chilli powder&coriander. But when I fried them in some olive oil and ate them I found they tasted a little earthy maybe due to too much coriander, problem is I've already made the fuckers and I don't know what to do bout the others I have in the fridge that I was gonna eat tomorrow, how do I cover up the flavour or change it. Shall I just murder it with sauce?

The only solution is suicide.

Yea OP pretty much what this Anon said
>>8321502
Well suicide seems to be the consensus and I trust you guys
>>8321495
Murder with a spicy sauce of earthy flavors like coriander.
>>8321495
Garlic aioli or some sort of mayo based sauce

You got any ideas for seasonings for turkey mince, It's super healthy and I'm trying to lose weight but I've been used to a life of processed food so I can't season for shit.

Turkey is very mild in flavor so it's pretty much a blank canvas. You can season it however you like. A few ideas:
Classic herbs: parsley, sage, rosemary, thyme, lemon zest.
Middle Eastern: Za'tar, Ras El Hanout, or other similar spice blend
Indian: curry powder, garam masala, chili pepper
Asian: ginger, sesame oil, garlic, chili
Also, a protip: whenever you make meatballs, sausage, meat loaf, or similar: start by test-cooking a bite-size part of your mixture. You can nuke it in the microwave or fry it in a pan. Taste-test that before you proceed with cooking the whole batch so you can adjust the seasoning as needed.

Ok thanks for the seasoning tips was just gonna ask how do you recommend cooking it I fried my meatballs with a little bit of olive oil for around 12 mins turning every now and again but they came out semi dry, my induction hob is ass for frying on

Turkey is super lean so it will nearly always make dry meatballs. That's why most meatball recipes you see will call for fattier meat like pork mince.
Frankly, I consider ground turkey to be very nearly inedible. It has such a fine line between being properly/safely cooked and overcooked-and-dry that it's not even worth messing with. I'd suggest adding some pork mince to your meatballs. Yeah it will add a little fat but that's OK. Focus on portion control rather than the type of ingredients you use if you're worried about calorie intake.
As for how to cook them I've done meatballs either in a pan/skillet on the stovetop or baked in the oven. If you're using poultry then make sure you check often with a thermometer; there's a super fine line between cooked and overcooked so you don't want to risk leaving them on the heat too long.

I will take your advice on the pork mince I think because yeah the turkey was super dry, I love pork shoulder and other shit like that, prob my favourite meat imo because it's so juicy even if it doesn't seem to take seasoning as well as chicken

So do something like a 50/50 mix of turkey and minced pork shoulder. Or even 75/25 in favor of the turkey. Having some pork in there would go a long way to keep the meatballs from being dry.
