TURKEY MEAT BALLS WITH SWISS CHARD

TURKEY MEAT BALLS

   WITH SWISS CHARD

I was not well last two weeks . I had a very bad flu, high fever, aching body. Not only that I could not cook and  eat , even I could not stand smell of food. It was interesting period for me. I have been felling myself well for last  two  days . Now I am thinking all day what I can  cook.... something light and tasty .This recipe emerged for a moment like this.
My favorite kitchen equipment is my stand mixer. I have got food grinder  part as a Christmas present. I am so please to have it, it is so  useful.  I find turkey meat much more tasty than beef and chicken. They do not sell ground turkey in my country.. Now I can make ground turkey when ever I need.
I prefer Swiss chard because it is more sour and spicy than spinach.   I  hope you like it as much as I do.
