Our family loves meat in the form of cutlets, meatballs and meatballs, so I try to please my loved ones. This time the choice fell on the recipe for turkey hedgehogs with rice. My minced meat was frozen, so I let it thaw, and then drained as much liquid as possible so that the hedgehogs would stick together better. I formed the balls with wet hands; to do this, I placed a bowl of water next to it. I placed it tightly in the mold, so my hedgehogs were not surrounded by filling, but were filled with it on top. I like this option) I wanted to diversify the filling, so I fried onions and carrots, added tomato paste, salt and simmered with chicken broth. Then I punched it with an immersion blender so that the children would not see the vegetables) I also baked it for 40 minutes and added another 10 minutes without foil. The hedgehogs turned out to be very tasty, tender and filling! Tomato sauce perfectly complements meat and rice. The children ate it with pasta and young greens. Thanks for the recipe!
