Ingredients

  • FOR THE MEATBALLS
  • 1 pound ground lamb
  • 4 ounces ground turkey
  • 1½ Tbsp parsley, finely chopped
  • 1 Tbsp mint, finely chopped
  • 1 tsp ground cumin
  • 1 tsp ground corriander
  • 1 tsp cayenne pepper
  • 1 tsp red chili paste
  • 2 garlic cloves, finely chopped
  • ¼ cup olive oil
  • 1 tsp salt
  • 1 egg white
  • FOR THE MINT YOGURT
  • ½ cup non-fat greek yogurt
  • ¼ cup sour cream
  • 2 Tbsp buttermilk
  • ¼ cup mint, finely chopped
  • 1 garlic clove, finely chopped
  • 2 pinches salt

Instructions

  1. Preheat the Airfryer to 390°F. In a large mixing bowl combine all ingredients for the meatballs. Roll the meatballs between your hands in a circular motion to smooth the meatball out to the size of a golf ball. Place the meatballs into the cooking basket and cook for 6-8 minutes.
  2. While the meatballs are cooking add all of the ingredients for the mint yogurt to a medium mixing bowl and combine well. Serve with the meatballs and garnish with fresh mint and olives.
Gourmet Geek Tip

Chill the mint yogurt sauce while the meatballs cook for the best flavor. | Cook in a single layer for even browning. | Serve with couscous, pita, or cucumber salad.
