The ability to emulate complicated and computationally-expensive physical systems in an efficient and stable manner is a popular motivation for scientific machine learning (SciML). Stable numerical solvers tend to be computationally expensive, as they attempt to resolve small (spatial and temporal) scales that receive and dissipate spectral energy. Learned coarse-grid forecasters remove the dissipative channel, allowing unresolved frequencies to re-emerge as grid-scale noise (aliasing). In this paper, we use the Neural Discrete Equilibrium (NeurDE) method to explore stable emulation at extremely coarse grids, demonstrating physically-principled control over entropy dynamics that reinforces the physical system's dissipative mechanism. Entropically-stabilized NeurDE produces stable long-time rollouts for thousands of forecasting steps on large Reynolds number turbulent flows ($\mathrm{Re}=100{,}000$) with very coarse grids (down to $\mathbb{R}^{16\times16}$). At these very coarse grid scales, entropically-stabilized NeurDE can be more stable than even our stabilized data-generation numerical method.
