Nutritional values
Cucumbers activate enzymes and digestive juices in the pancreas, gall bladder, and liver, thus supporting intact digestion. Turkey meat is rich in proteins - ideal for strong muscles. And in combination with potatoes the proteins can be utilized particularly well.
Instead of curry powder, you can also season the meatballs with smoked paprika powder - this gives a particularly hearty taste. If you can get some, you can of course use braised cucumbers instead of cucumbers for the vegetables.
