BRACHA'S PASSOVER TURKEY OR CHICKEN MEATBALLS
My sister-in-law Bracha's meatballs are soft and perfect in soup or sauce. They can be made Italian by adding some Italian spices (oregano, basil, parsley) or Middle Eastern by adding coriander, cumin & tumeric. But for child-friendly meatballs, we leave them as they are. They can also be made with breadcrumbs (not on Passover) instead of the potato flour, or to use up leftover potato flour after Passover.

Tips:
- Choose the right meat: Ground beef is the most common type of meat used in meatballs, but you can also use ground turkey, chicken, lamb, or pork. If you're using a leaner meat, like turkey or chicken, add some bread crumbs or oatmeal to help keep the meatballs moist.
- Use fresh herbs and spices: Fresh herbs and spices will give your meatballs the best flavor. If you don't have fresh herbs on hand, you can use dried herbs, but use about 1/3 of the amount called for in the recipe.
- Don't overmix the meat: Overmixing the meat will make the meatballs tough. Mix the ingredients just until they are combined.
- Roll the meatballs into uniform sizes: This will help them cook evenly.
- Brown the meatballs before simmering them: Browning the meatballs will help to seal in the flavor and prevent them from falling apart.
- Use a flavorful sauce: The sauce is what will really make your meatballs shine. Choose a sauce that you love and that will complement the flavor of the meatballs.
- Serve the meatballs hot: Meatballs are best served hot, right out of the oven or skillet.
