Classic Turkish Kofte with Fries and Pide

Method

1. In a large bowl, combine the ground beef, lamb, grated onion, breadcrumbs, egg, salt, and pepper. Mix well until all ingredients are incorporated.
2. Form the mixture into small meatballs, about 1.5 inches in diameter.
3. Heat the olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add the meatballs and cook until browned on all sides and cooked through, about 10-12 minutes.
4. While the meatballs cook, prepare the pide by rolling out the dough and baking it in a preheated oven at 400°F (200°C) for 10-12 minutes.
5. Serve the meatballs with French fries and pide, accompanied by garlic sauce for dipping.
6. Check that the ground meat reaches 71°C (160°F) throughout before serving.
