These Middle Eastern-inspired meatballs combine lean ground turkey and grated sweet potato for a filling, savory yet sweet dish. Serve with couscous and Greek yogurt or hummus for a complete, healthy dinner or brown bag lunch. While the meatballs are super simple to make, in case there’s any question, you can watch a video demonstration over at Sonima.
