Sounds interesting. Since you got this from a spice packet, you don't
have a recipe, with specific spice amounts, do you? Anyone else?
When the Turks are thinking of "meatball" how big are they thinking of?
The usual 1 inch or so? Or something larger or smaller?
> I also want to obtain a whole leg of lamb for roasting.
If you are interested in some more lamb recipes, although probably
non-Turkish, perhaps some of the period ones in this Florilegium file
might be of interest:
