Turkey-Chicken-Rice Balls (Tefteli)

Loosely based on THIS recipe

Ingredients:
1lb ground turkey (not completely lean, 93:7 is good)
1lb ground chicken (also not too lean)
1 egg
white onion
fresh garlic
rice
flour
butter and oil
paprika
smoked salt
black and white pepper
marjoram
chicken stock
sour cream
tomato paste

- Make 1/2 cup white rice - undercook it by adding less water/stock than usual, let cool
- Fry chopped onions lightly, combine in a mixing bowl with rice, cool
- Add ground chicken, turkey, egg, 3 cloves fresh chopped garlic
- Add pepper/salt/paprika to taste (yes, I taste my raw meat)

- Roll mixture into balls (bigger than a golf ball, smaller than tennis ball, doesn't really matter)
- Dredge balls in flour
- Fry on all sides but not until fully cooked in a little bit of oil (we use grapeseed)
- In a separate pot, start the liquids - melt 2tbsp butter, whisk in 1-2 tbsp flour, add stock (we used a diluted bouillon cube and adjusted the overall amount of salt accordingly)
- Add 2-3 tbsp of sour cream, mix
- Add 1-2 tbsp of tomato paste, mix
- Transfer all fried balls into the liquid, bring to boil, reduce heat, simmer for ~20 min
