Curried Turkey Meatballs

One Christmas holiday season when my family and I visited Lake Tahoe, we went out for dinner one evening and enjoyed the most delicious Indian pita sandwich. The Indian spiced-flavored meat was so fantastic that I had to figure out how recreate that taste when we got back home. The result is this recipe!
