Ingredients
  

For the Meatballs
  • 1 lb Ground Turkey or ground chicken
  • 1 cup Panko Breadcrumbs or classic breadcrumbs
  • 1 Egg
  • 1 cup Feta Cheese crumbled
  • 1 small Onion (Red or White) finely minced
  • 2-3 Garlic minced
  • 1 tsp Dried Oregano do not skip
  • 1 tsp Dill fresh recommended
  • 1 tsp Cumin adjust to taste
  • 1 tsp Salt
  • 1 tsp Black Pepper
For the Tzatziki Sauce
  • 1 cup Plain Greek Yogurt
  • 1 small Persian Cucumbers grated and drained
  • 2 tbsp Lemon Juice
  • 1 tbsp Olive Oil

Equipment

  • Baking Sheet
  • Parchment paper
  • Mixing Bowl
  • grater
  • Refrigerator

Method
 

Directions
  1. Prepare Tzatziki Sauce: Grate the cucumber and ensure to remove any excess moisture by wringing it out. In a bowl, mix the grated cucumber with Greek yogurt, dill, minced garlic, lemon juice, olive oil, salt, and pepper. Stir until well combined, then refrigerate until ready to serve.
  2. Preheat Oven: Set your oven temperature to 400°F (200°C). While it’s heating, line a baking sheet with parchment paper to prevent sticking.
  3. Mix Meatballs: In a large mixing bowl, combine ground turkey, panko breadcrumbs, minced onion, crumbled feta, minced garlic, egg, oregano, dill, cumin, salt, and pepper. Use your hands to gently mix until all ingredients are evenly incorporated.
  4. Form Meatballs: Using your hands, shape the mixture into 1-inch balls. Place them neatly on the prepared baking sheet, ensuring they are spaced apart for even cooking.
  5. Bake Meatballs: Pop the sheet into the oven and bake the meatballs for 15-20 minutes, until they’re cooked through and golden brown.
  6. Serve: Once ready, serve the meatballs hot with the chilled tzatziki sauce and garnish with lemon wedges for an extra zesty touch.
