These classic grilled Turkish meatballs are made with ground beef, onion, and spices. A favorite for backyard cookouts and indoor grilling, they are browned outside and juicy inside.
Combine the ground beef, grated onion with its liquid squeezed out, soaked and squeezed bread, crushed garlic, cumin, red pepper flakes, baking soda, salt, and black pepper in a bowl. Knead for 10 minutes, until combined.
Cover and refrigerate the mixture for 30 minutes. Then, with wet hands, shape it into flat oval patties.
Cook the patties on a charcoal grill or grill pan, turning them until browned on both sides and cooked through. Important: The internal temperature should reach 71°C / 160°F; the patties should not remain pink. Serve hot.
Kneading the mixture well and letting it rest helps the meatballs hold together on the grill. Important: Cook ground meat patties thoroughly to an internal temperature of 71°C / 160°F. Contains no nuts. Serve hot.
