There's an air of foreign travel in these meatballs that make a hearty snack with drinks or dinner served with rice.

Zesty Turkey Meatballs with Minty Yogurt Sauce

2 cups vegetable oil
1 1/2 pounds ground turkey
1 (15.5-ounce) can garbanzo beans, rinsed drained and mashed
1 large egg, beaten
1 tablespoon crushed dried oregano
1 tablespoon paprika
2 teaspoons garlic salt
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/8 teaspoon ground black pepper
1 cup seasoned bread crumbs
1 cup low-fat plain yogurt
1 lemon, juiced
2 tablespoons chopped fresh mint

1. In a large deep skillet, or a deep fryer, heat the oil to 375°F.
2. In a large bowl combine turkey, garbanzo beans, egg, oregano, paprika, garlic salt, salt and pepper. Form into balls about the size of a golf ball. Roll in bread crumbs and deep fry until golden and cooked through, about 10 minutes.
3. Meanwhile, combine the yogurt, lemon and mint. Drain the meat balls on paper towels. Serve with yogurt mixture on the side.

Makes 6 servings.
