Ingredients
For the turkey meatballs:
1 lb ground turkey
1 egg, lightly beaten
½ cup breadcrumbs (or almond flour for low-carb)
2 cloves garlic, minced
2 tbsp fresh parsley, chopped
1 tbsp fresh dill, chopped (or 1 tsp dried)
1 tbsp fresh oregano, chopped (or 1 tsp dried)
½ tsp ground cumin
½ tsp salt
¼ tsp black pepper
1 tbsp olive oil (for cooking)
For the tzatziki sauce:
1 cup Greek yogurt
½ cucumber, grated and excess water squeezed out
1 clove garlic, minced
1 tbsp fresh dill, chopped
1 tbsp lemon juice
Salt and black pepper, to taste
Instructions
In a large bowl, combine ground turkey, egg, breadcrumbs, garlic, parsley, dill, oregano, cumin, salt, and pepper. Mix until just combined.
Shape into 16 small meatballs.
Heat olive oil in a skillet over medium heat. Cook meatballs for 8–10 minutes, turning occasionally, until golden brown and cooked through (165°F internal temperature).
While meatballs cook, prepare tzatziki: In a bowl, combine Greek yogurt, cucumber, garlic, dill, lemon juice, salt, and pepper. Mix well and refrigerate until ready to serve.
Serve meatballs with tzatziki sauce, alongside pita bread, salad, or rice.
Notes
These meatballs can be baked at 400°F (200°C) for 15–18 minutes instead of pan-frying.
Tzatziki can be made up to 2 days in advance.
Works great for meal prep—store in airtight containers for up to 4 days.
