Turkey Meatballs with Middle Eastern Savor
What is it about meatballs? They always seem to be the first thing to disappear from an appetizer buffet. Maybe it’s the fun of eating with a toothpick, or maybe it’s the thrill of getting such full-sized flavor in an undersized orb.
In this version made with lean turkey meat, yogurt adds moisture, while fresh mint, garlic and cumin add zest.
Prep Time: 25
Total Time: 50
Servings: 24 meatballs
Ingredients:
1 cup panko-style breadcrumbs

2 packages (each 12 ounces) Organic Prairie Ground Turkey (thawed)
1/4 cup finely chopped shallots
1 tablespoon minced garlic
1/4 cup chopped fresh mint leaves
2 tablespoons chopped fresh parsley
1 teaspoon ground cumin
Salt and freshly ground pepper to taste
Instructions:
1. Heat oven to 350 degrees. Line a baking pan with foil or parchment paper. Soak breadcrumbs in yogurt for 10-15 minutes. Add remaining ingredients and mix lightly until combined.
