Black beans are loved and widely used in Latin American cuisine. There are many traditional ways of preparing black beans but they are also great for new creative fusion recipes like this one. Beans add an interesting texture to these meatballs and they also help bind the turkey meat without needing breadcrumbs or eggs.
