Turkish Lamb Meatballs

In Turkish cuisine, the word meatballs is ‘kofte’ and these are shaped into balls with typically ground beef. Pulled together with spices, these lamb meatballs can be cooked on the grill, in the oven or on the stove. 

These are Turkish inspired lamb meatballs that you’ll eat like gum balls! I call them luscious luvs with bursts of asiago cheese in them that’s an unexpected surprise. Then there’s a full canvas of fresh herbs that work together collaboratively to create interesting new triggers of happiness on your palate. Then there’s the slight charring and crispies around the meatballs from the melting cheese that just bring joy to your chew!

Meatballs as Appetizers

The great thing about this recipe is that you have the power. Yes, you can change the size of the meatballs. And, if you want them large, dinner size, go for it. And, if you want them to be more bite size for appetizers, then it’s all up to you and how you roll ’em! And, another option. You can omit the potatoes. If you’re making these Mexican meatballs or albondigas as appetizers, then you might want to swap out potatoes and just serve them with tortilla chips.

Store Bought Tzatziki

Make sure you create your favorite dipping sauce for the meatballs. I love a lemon herb labneh sauce or maybe a tzatziki, even if it’s store bought tzatziki! However, I have recipes for both of these great sauces in my cookbook. You’ll not go wrong with a marinara dipping sauce either!  These meatballs will be fabulous for a sandwich, too.

Isn’t it great to have this kind of power! And, it happens in the kitchen with each and every recipe you make!

 Go ahead get your boho brain working and make some magic! xoxo ~ally
