MIDDLE EASTERN TURKEY MEATBALLS WITH COUSCOUS
This recipe was my introduction to couscous, and I've never looked back. The first time I made it, I did accidentially use israeli couscous (don't try it!). The cinnamon is very subtle, and the meatballs are very complex in flavor. This is very healthy, and tastes sooo good!

[email protected]These meatballs were a bit too spicy for my taste, but my husband loved them. I'll try making them again with less cayenne pepper next time.

[email protected]I'm not a big fan of turkey, but these meatballs were surprisingly good. The spices really helped to enhance the flavor of the turkey.

[email protected]These meatballs are a great way to use up leftover turkey. They're also a lot healthier than traditional meatballs, since they're made with ground turkey.
