Minced meat for cooking can be bought ready-made. And it is better to cook it yourself. To do this, a piece of meat needs to be washed, cut into pieces and crushed with a meat grinder. Minced meat for the presented recipe can be used not only from turkey. It can be pork, beef or chicken minced meat. If the dish will be eaten by children, then of course it is better to choose a more dietary type of meat.
