Greek Turkey Meatballs With Mint Yogurt Sauce
- 1 onion large, quartered
- 5 garlic cloves
- 1/2 cup fresh mint
- 1/2 cup Italian parsley
- 3 pounds lean ground turkey I used 1 lb turkey + 2 lbs venison
- 2 eggs large
- 1/2 cup wheat whole, or Panko breadcrumbs, I make my own from sprouted bread
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 1 teaspoon black pepper
- 1/2 teaspoon ground black pepper
- Puree in a food processor/Magic Bullet or finely chop onion, garlic, mint and parsley. Add to a large mixing bowl along with ground turkey, eggs, breadcrumbs, salt and black pepper and mix thoroughly with your hands.
- Preheat large skillet or two on medium heat and spray with cooking spray. Scoop meat mixture with a small ice cream scoop and roll into a ball. Place in a skillet and repeat until you run out of mixture/room in the skillets.Cook for 5 - 6 minutes or until golden brown, turn on the other side and cook for another 5 minutes.
- To make Mint Yogurt Sauce, combine all ingredients in a small bowl, stir and let stand for 30 minutes to let flavours "marry" each other.
- Serve hot with Mint Yogurt Sauce (optional) and your favourite healthy side (quinoa, brown rice, whole wheat pasta/couscous, bulgur) and salad.
