Turkish Meatballs, known as "Köfte," are a popular dish rooted in Turkish cuisine, cherished for their flavorful blend of ingredients and simplicity. Typically made from ground beef or lamb, they are seasoned with onions, garlic, parsley, breadcrumbs, and a mix of aromatic spices like cumin and paprika. Shaped into small patties or balls, they are grilled, baked, or pan-fried, offering a satisfying mix of crisp edges and juicy interiors. Köfte is often paired with rice, salads, or yogurt-based sauces. Rich in protein from the meat and full of flavorful herbs, Turkish Meatballs can be a nutritious choice, though their healthiness depends on preparation. Baking or grilling is a lighter option than frying, and leaner cuts of meat reduce saturated fats. While rich and satisfying, moderation is key to keep sodium and fat levels in check. Enjoy Köfte as part of a balanced meal to savor Turkish tradition healthfully.
