Chicken or Turkey Meatballs (Moroccan Style) image

My husband's mom would make this for me while I was in Morocco. After the first time I tried to figure out what she put in it to make them so good. Mine were ok but not wonderful like hers. So the next time I was there I paid close attention when she made them.

Categories     Chicken

Time 25m

Yield 4 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 9

1 lb ground chicken (I prefer chicken) or 1 lb ground turkey (I prefer chicken)
2 tablespoons fresh parsley, finely chopped (My addition, not hers) (optional)
1/2 medium onion, grated (The key to great meatballs & I dislike onion)
1 1/2 teaspoons paprika
1 teaspoon cumin
1/2 teaspoon ground black pepper
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/4 cup oil
1/2 cup flour, to coat (optional)

Steps:

  • Mix parsley, onion, & spices with the ground chicken (or turkey). Make sure it is well blended so that the spices are evenly distributed throughout the mixture.
  • Make 1 inch balls flattened to about 1/2 inch thickness.
  • Optional: Dip the balls into the flour until coated. (The ones in the picture have been made this way).
  • Pour enough oil to just cover the bottom of the frying pan, heat on medium heat.
  • Place the balls into the heated oil. Turn frequently so they do not burn on the sides. Cook until they are done all the way through.
  • Optional: To eat Moroccan style, use pieces of a thick bread to break off chunks of meatball. Pop into mouth & enjoy. (No utensils).

I love that this recipe uses ground turkey instead of beef. It's a much healthier option.

Overall, these meatballs were just okay. They weren't bad, but they weren't anything special either.

These meatballs were easy to make, but they didn't hold together very well. I think I would use more breadcrumbs next time.

I found the flavor of these meatballs to be a bit bland. I would add more spices next time.

These meatballs were a bit dry for my taste. I think I would add more moisture next time, maybe some chopped vegetables.

I made these meatballs for my family and they loved them. The kids especially enjoyed dipping them in the yogurt sauce.

These meatballs were easy to make and turned out great. I used ground turkey instead of chicken and they were still delicious.
