Best Moroccan Turkey Meatballs With Citrus Couscous Recipes
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!

CHICKEN OR TURKEY MEATBALLS (MOROCCAN STYLE)
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.

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).
