Creamy Cilantro Turkey and Veal Meatballs

Introduction:

Get ready to impress your taste buds with these mouthwatering Cilantro Turkey and Veal Meatballs!

This recipe is all about bringing together the best of both worlds: the richness of veal and the lightness of turkey, combined into one delicious bite.

We start by finely chopping a bunch of fresh cilantro and a few cloves of garlic – these two power ingredients will give the meatballs their incredible flavor.

Mix them into half a kilo each of ground veal and turkey, and season with salt and your favorite spices to taste.

After forming these little flavor bombs, we give them a quick sear in a hot skillet, creating a beautiful golden crust.

But we don’t stop there! The meatballs are then bathed in a luscious sour cream sauce and baked to perfection, resulting in a dish that’s creamy, comforting, and oh-so-satisfying.

Serve these meatballs with your favorite sides for a meal that’s sure to please everyone at the table.

Ingredients:

• 500 g (1.1 lbs) ground veal
• 500 g (1.1 lbs) ground turkey
• 1 bunch of cilantro, finely chopped
• 3-4 garlic cloves, finely chopped

• Spices of your choice (e.g., black pepper, paprika, cumin)
