Ingredients:
2 LBS. Lean Ground Beef or Turkey 1 Medium Onion 1 1/2 handfuls of cilantro 2 cups of uncooked rice 1 egg 6 crackers salt and pepper 1 1/2 Tablespoon cumin 1 Tablespoon garlic powder

Chop 1/2 of onion and all of the cilantro. In a mixing bowl add the crushed crackers, beaten egg, turkey meat, chopped onion and cilantro, 1 cup or rice, cumin, garlic powder, add salt and pepper to your taste.
Place your pot with water and let it come to a boil.
With your hands mix everything together. Once mixed well, start forming the albondigas, not too big and not too small, and drop the abondiga in the hot water repeat until you are done with the meat.
