Based on my analysis, it seems that this recipe could be part of a healthy diet and eaten once a week, and since it is mostly protein, it should be accompanied by vegetables and some from of carbohydrate such as couscous, rice, or flatbread.

However, there is 11.9 g of saturated fat, which is quite a bit, so if this was consumed weekly, the other meal choices should be lower in saturated fat. There is also 0.6 g of trans fat, which is concerning, especially because Health Canada suggest avoiding all trans fats.

The sodium content is also fairly high, so again, if this was to be eaten once per week, the other meal choices should be lower in sodium. This dish would not be ok for someone with hypertension.

You could substitute a healthy fat such as canola oil instead of the suet, and this would also make the recipe dairy-free, however, it would make the kefta more oily and difficult to handle.
