turkey koftas

This is a very simple recipe, all you need to do is combine ingredients. If you don't have all the spices it's ok, just use the ones you have. It is a great low- carb option for weekly prep-meals , they also freeze great  and something different with middle eastern flavors. The traditional tzattziki is made with yogurt, but keeping it low -carb I used sour cream.  If you don't have a diet restrictions by all means use plain yogurt. I also included the pics of my favorite low-carb bread options in case you don't know about them. Hope you all have an awesome weekend ahead with loved ones ;) .

​

3. SHAPE LIKE QUENELLE'S , I FIND ITS EASIER FOR STUFFING IN WRAPS OR PITAS, BUT YOU CAN DO YOU'RE DESIRED SHAPE. 

​

4. SPRAY YOUR PAN WITH NON-STICK COOKING SPRAY. IN A MEDIUM HEAT PAN , PUT THE KOFTAS AND LET COOK ON ONE SIDE UNTIL GOLDEN BROWN (ABOUT THREE MIN) , THEN TURN,  COVER THE PAN AND COOK FOR ANOTHER THREE TO FOUR MINUTES. THEN IT'S DONE 

​

5. FOR THE SAUCE : COMBINE ALL INGREDIENTS TOGETHER .

EJOY ;)
