Turkey Meatballs with Braised Cucumbers
Healthy, because
Even smarter
Nutritional values
Cucumbers activate enzymes and digestive juices in the pancreas, gall bladder, and liver, thus supporting intact digestion. Turkey meat is rich in proteins - ideal for strong muscles. And in combination with potatoes the proteins can be utilized particularly well.
Instead of curry powder, you can also season the meatballs with smoked paprika powder - this gives a particularly hearty taste. If you can get some, you can of course use braised cucumbers instead of cucumbers for the vegetables.
