How To Make Greek Turkey Meatballs
Ingredients needed
- Ground turkey
- Red onion
- Garlic
- Dill
- Mint
- Egg
- Breadcrumbs
- Feta
- Tzatziki sauce (store-bought)
- Seasonings (listed below)
Quick tips before starting
- The Greek turkey meatballs can be baked for the entire recipe. I do recommend sautéing the meatballs first for a little caramelization before adding into the oven for the best flavors.
- These meatballs are best served over a salad of lettuce or with rice. Keep the side dish simple because the meatballs, cheese and sauce are the stars of the show.
- You can make this recipe with super lean ground turkey. I recommend using a ground turkey with a little fat content for the best flavor.
Making the Greek turkey meatballs from start to finish
- To start, in a bowl, add in the ground turkey, dill, mint, red onion, garlic, egg, breadcrumbs and the seasoning. Mix everything until combined then cover the bowl and place in the refrigerator for 15-20 minutes.
- Preheat the oven to 400F.
- Remove the bowl then form the meatballs into the size of golf balls. In a frying pan with a little olive oil sear a side or two of each meatball then place on a sheet pan.
- Place the pan into the oven for 15 minutes. They will not take long to cook after being seared.
- When finished, serve the Greek turkey meatballs with crumbled feta cheese and drizzled with tzatziki sauce.
