CARAMELISED ONION TURKEY & FETA MEATBALLS WITH A SPICY YOGURT DIP & TOMATO BULGAR 

by Zars Kitchen Admin

 The combo of sweet caramelised onions, salty feta and a TON of greens give these turkey meatballs so much flavour and goodness, they are insanely soft on the inside but coated in sesame seeds before cooking which give them a delightful outer crust.  

Really hope you give these a go.. they were so delish and super easy!
