Method

  1. Grate the onion, squeeze dry, mix into the ground turkey with the crumbled feta and zest; roll eight balls.
  2. Brown in the oil over medium-high heat 5-6 minutes, until deep gold and loose in the pan.
  3. Add broth and beans, cover, simmer 8 minutes, until it reads 165°F (74°C); steam the riced cauliflower 4 minutes alongside.
  4. Off the heat, whisk the egg with the lemon juice and a ladle of broth, stir it back.
  5. Return the pan to the lowest heat 2-3 minutes, stirring, until the sauce coats a spoon; it must never bubble. Stir in the dill.
  6. Serve it over the cauliflower rice; meatballs keep three days, the sauce never reheats.
Chef’s tipNever let the sauce bubble once the egg is in, or it scrambles.
