Reviews
We loved the meatballs we ate when we were traveling in Turkey, so I was excited to try this recipe. We are very happy with the results! I used fresh mint instead of dried and it was a great addition.
Incredible!
I forgot to mention, I’ve been to various parts of Turkey several times. I’ve had many versions of Kofte. This recipe is spot on!
