Story

I have used both ground turkey and ground lamb for this recipe, because sometimes ground lamb is difficult to find. Either one works just fine. The directions might seem somewhat tedious at first, but the meatballs actually go together quite easily, and the resulting flavor is fabulous. Well worth the effort!
