Perfect for mixing up your midweek menu or holiday hosting.

INGREDIENTS

  • 1 lb ground turkey (I prefer 93/7 lean)

  • 2 cloves garlic, minced

  • 1/4 large red onion

  • 1 egg

  • 1/2 cup breadcrumbs or almond flour (use almond flour to make this gluten-free)

  • 1/4 cup chopped fresh dill

  • 1/2 tbsp dried oregano

  • 1 tsp salt

  • 1/2 tsp pepper

  • 2 tbsp olive oil

    Here’s a Tzatziki Recipe (cut in half), or you can use store-bought tzatziki

INSTRUCTIONS 

  • In a large bowl, add ground turkey and minced garlic.

  • Grate 1/4 red onion into turkey; alternatively, chop red onion very small.

  • Add egg, breadcrumbs, dill, oregano, salt, and pepper. Mix until just combined, I use my hands.

  • Form into 14 meatballs.

  • Heat a saucepan with olive oil over medium heat. Once hot, add meatballs and cook for 7-8 minutes, turning every constantly to ensure even cooking on all sides. Once meatballs reach 165F, they are done.

  • While meatballs are cooking, make Tzatziki.

  • Serve over rice!
