Greek Turkey Meatballs

Step 1

Preheat oven to 450 degrees F. Line a large baking sheet with parchment paper and set aside.

Step 2

In a large bowl, combine the ground turkey, breadcrumbs, zucchini, spinach, red onion, garlic, feta, egg, lemon zest, parsley, oregano, salt, and pepper. Stir well with a rubber spatula or wooden spoon until well combined.

Step 3

Using an ice cream scoop or large cookie scoop, scoop about two tablespoons of the mixture into your palms (you can wear kitchen gloves, if you wish) and roll it into a ball. Place the ball on the prepared baking sheet. Repeat with the rest of the mixture, spacing the meatballs out onto the baking sheet, about 2-inches apart.

Step 4

Bake the meatballs for 18 to 25 minutes or until cooked through.

Step 5

You can enjoy the meatballs with a drizzle of tzatziki sauce or make a gyro. To make a gyro, take a warm piece of pita bread and add 3 meatballs, lettuce, tomatoes, onion slices, feta cheese, and drizzle tzatziki sauce over the top. Serve immediately. You can also serve the meatballs with rice or on top of a Greek salad.
