Servings: persons

1 pound ground turkey
1 zucchini large, coarsely grated, scant 2 cups
3 green onions thinly sliced
1 large egg
2 tablespoons mint chopped
2 tablespoons chopped cilantro
2 cloves garlic chopped
1 teaspoon ground cumin
1 teaspoon salt
1/2 teaspoon pepper
1/2 teaspoon cayenne pepper
6 1/2 tablespoons sunflower oil for searing
1/2 cup sour cream
2/3 cup greek yogurt
1 teaspoon grated lemon zest
1 tablespoon lemon juice freshly squeezed
1 clove garlic crushed
1 1/2 tablespoons olive oil
1 tablespoon sumac
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/4 teaspoon pepper

1
Make the sour cream sauce by placing all of the sauce ingredients in a bowl and stirring until combined. Chill until ready to use.
2
Preheat oven to 425 . In a large bowl, combine all the ingredients for the meatballs except the sunflower oil. Mix with your hands and then shape into about 18 burger, each weighing about 1 1/2 oz.
3
Pour enough sunflower oil into a large frying pan to form a layer about 2 mm thick on the pan bottom. Heat over medium heat until hot, then sear the meatballs in batches on all sides. Cook each batch for about 4 minutes, adding oil as needed, until golden brown.
4
Carefully transfer the seared meatballs to baking sheet lined with waxed paper and place in oven for 5 to 7 minutes, or until just cooked through. Serve warm with the sauce spooned over or on the side.
