Equipment

  • Sheet pan
  • Food processor
  • Knife and cutting board
  • Mixing Bowls
  • Measuring spoons and cups

Ingredients
  

Turkey Meatballs

  • 1 pound ground turkey
  • 1 egg
  • 0.25 cup panko breadcrumbs
  • 0.25 cup red onion finely diced
  • 3 cloves garlic minced
  • 0.5 lemon juiced
  • 0.25 cup crumbled feta cheese
  • 0.5 teaspoon dried oregano
  • 1 tablespoon fresh dill chopped
  • 1 tablespoon fresh parsley chopped
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • 0.5 teaspoon black pepper

Tzatziki Sauce

  • 1 cup Greek or Icelandic Skyr yogurt
  • 0.5 teaspoon fresh or dried dill
  • 0.5 lemon juiced
  • 0.5 teaspoon salt
  • 0.5 cup cucumber finely diced or chopped
  • 1 teaspoon garlic powder

Instructions
 

Turkey Meatballs

  • Preheat oven to 400 degrees F and line a sheet pan with parchment paper.
  • In a large bowl, combine the ground turkey with the rest of the meatball ingredients. Use your hands to mix everything together.
  • Use a cookie or ice cream scoop to form the meatballs and then roll them in between the palm of your hands. Place the meatballs on the parchment paper lined baking sheet.
  • Lightly spray the meatballs with cooking spray and bake for 25-30 minutes or until cooked through. Meatballs should be 165 degrees F internally.

Tzatziki Sauce

  • While the meatballs are cooking, make the tzatziki sauce. Begin by adding the cucumber to a food processor and pulse until finely chopped.
  • Add the cucumber to a small bowl along with the lemon juice, salt, garlic powder, dill and yogurt. Mix everything to combine and serve with the meatballs.

Notes

Don’t overwork the meat. Mix the meat and other ingredients just long enough to combine and form the meatballs. The meatballs can be stored in an airtight container in the fridge for 3-4 days. Freeze cooked or uncooked meatballs for meal prep.
