INGREDIENTS
  • 3 tablespoons canola oil
  • 1 to 2 medium onions, chopped
  • 20 to 40 ounces ground turkey*
  • 4 hard boiled eggs, chopped

  • 3 heaping tablespoons plain yogurt (optional)
  • 1 1/2 tablespoons flour
  • 2 tablespoons chopped dill
  • 2 tablespoons chopped parsley
  • salt and pepper, to taste.
  • (If you use seasoned ground meat,
  • you can forgo the salt and pepper. It's still delicious!)
