Why do Çine meatballs fall apart while cooking?

Can you freeze Çine meatballs?
Yes, you can freeze uncooked Çine meatballs. Arrange the shaped patties separately until firm, then pack them airtight so they do not stick together; thaw them in the refrigerator before cooking.
How should you store leftover Çine meatballs?
Store leftover Çine meatballs in a covered container in the refrigerator rather than leaving them out. Reheat them until hot throughout before serving, and avoid repeatedly warming and cooling the same portion.

What is Çine meatballs?
Çine meatballs come from Çine, a district of Aydın in western Turkey. They are made by seasoning minced beef, shaping it into patties and cooking it—often over a grill. Recipes vary, but the meat is the main ingredient, and a well-cooked batch has a browned exterior with a tender, juicy centre.
In their home region, they are commonly served hot with piyaz (a bean salad), grilled tomatoes or peppers, and bread. They also work well with a crisp salad or grilled vegetables if you want a lighter plate. Their meat-forward profile makes them a protein-rich choice: a 100 g portion provides 20.5 g of protein.
