Turkey koftas
These are so juicy and healthy! It is ideal to make these in advance and only put them in the oven right before you serve them.

Ingredients:
- 2 pounds ground turkey
- 1/2 cup fresh basil stems removed, chopped
- 1/2 cup fresh mint stems removed, chopped
- 1 onion finely chopped
- 1 teaspoon curry powder
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1 1/2 teaspoons salt pink Himalayan
Directions:
- Preheat oven to 425°F. Prepare a large baking sheet pan with parchment paper.
- In a large bowl, add all the ingredients and mix well. Using the palms of your hands, form small oval (or circle) shaped balls.
- Prepare a large skillet on high heat, add 1 tablespoon of olive oil and get hot. Sear the koftas for 1 minute per side or until browned and add them to the baking sheet.
- Place baking sheet pan in oven uncovered for 10 minutes or until cooked through.
Notes & Tips:
Serve with warm tomato sauce or techina ( in a jar add tahini paste, ⅓ cup white wine vinegar, ¼ cup water, ¼ cup olive oil, ¼ cup fresh basil and 1 teaspoon of salt. Mix well.) If you are making them for Friday night, try to put them in the oven as close to Shabbat as possible, don’t refrigerate them, and reheat them gently in order for them not to dry out!
I happen to have ground chicken and ground meat- would either of these work for this recipe or should I go get ground turkey? thanks!
They will both work beautifully!!
