What ingredients go into Antep-style dry meatballs?

Why are Antep-style dry meatballs called “dry”?

Are Antep-style dry meatballs spicy?
Antep-style dry meatballs can be mild or spicy. Their heat comes mainly from the type and amount of pepper used, so a dish made in Antep is not automatically very hot; recipes differ from cook to cook.

Can you bake Antep-style dry meatballs instead of frying them?

What is Antep-style dry meatballs?
Antep-style dry meatballs come from Gaziantep in southeastern Turkey. They are typically made by combining minced meat with fine bulgur and onion, then seasoning, shaping and cooking the mixture in a pan or on a grill. Unlike saucy meatballs, they are served without a broth or sauce; “dry” describes the style of preparation and serving.
They develop a browned exterior while staying tender and warmly spiced inside. In Turkey, they are often served hot as a main dish, with salad, grilled peppers or ayran. The meat makes them a protein-rich, filling choice, with 24.8 g of protein per 100 g. For a lighter plate, cook them with little added oil and pair them with plenty of fresh vegetables.
