Meatball sandwich

Meatballs are usually made with
high-fat meat such as pork, beef, or
even lamb. Their fat content is high
because it is the fat that binds them
together and allows them to hold their
shape. In this recipe, we substitute
the high-fat meat with ground turkey
and bind the meatballs with egg whites
and bread crumbs.
