Ingredients

• 3 lb. ground turkey
• 4 tsp garlic-infused olive oil
• 3/4 cup diced green onions, green parts only
• 4 tsp dried mint
• 1 tsp dried oregano
• 1/2 tsp cumin
• 1/4 tsp cinnamon
• 1/4 tsp cloves
• 1.5 tsp salt
• 2 Tbsp cooking oil

Directions

1. Serving suggestions:

2. Pairs well with greek yogurt dipping sauce (full fat greek yogurt with garlic-infused olive oil, salt and dried mint and/or dill mixed in). Also pairs well with roasted veggies.

3. Add the ground turkey, diced green onion, garlic-infused olive oil, mint, oregano, cumin, cloves, cinnamon, and salt to a bowl. Mix the ingredients together until they are well combined.

4. Shape the meat mixture into ping pong sized meatballs (about 20) – flatten them somewhat for more even cooking. Set aside half to flash freeze.

5. Heat a large non-stick or cast iron skillet over medium heat. Once hot, 1 Tbsp cooking oil and swirl to coat the surface of the skillet. Add half of the meatballs and cook on each side until well browned (about 7 minutes total). Be careful as you turn the meatballs, as they can be quite delicate. Transfer the cooked meatballs to a clean plate, add more oil to the skillet, and cook the second batch in the same manner.

6. Flash freeze the doubled portion of the batch and after totally frozen, transfer to plastic freezer bag.
