Spiced Lamb Meatballs With Lemon Mint Yogurt Sauce Recipe

Preheat your oven to 400 degrees Fahrenheit.

In a large bowl, combine the 2 tablespoons grated ginger, 1 tablespoon minced garlic, 2 tsp curry powder, 2 tsp garam masala, 1 teaspoon salt, and 1 tsp pepper. Stir them together until well mixed, creating a fragrant spice blend for the meatballs.

Add the 1 1/2 pounds ground lamb and 1/2 pound ground turkey to the bowl with the spices. Using your hands, gently combine the mixture until the spices are just evenly distributed throughout the meat. Be careful not to overmix, as this can make the meatballs tough.

Once mixed, gently roll the meat into balls, about 1 1/2 inches in diameter. Arrange them on a rimmed baking sheet or jelly roll pan, leaving a little space between each one.
