I Could Eat These Straight Off the Pan!
Meatballs are one of a reliable dinners to make. They are simple, flexible, and always a hit at my house. Greek food is another favorite of mine, so I honestly cannot believe it took me this long to combine the two.
The first time I tested these Greek turkey meatballs, I knew they were going to be a keeper. Fresh parsley and mint add so much flavor, the seasonings are evenly balanced, and the feta sauce takes everything over the top.
What really sold me was how well they reheat. The meatballs stay juicy, and the sauce somehow gets even better after sitting in the fridge. It is satisfying to keeping a batch of these on hand for quick lunches and straightforward dinners, and they have officially earned a permanent spot in my rotation.
Ingredients
| Ingredient | Notes & Swaps |
|---|---|
| Ground turkey (93/7) | Ground chicken also works, but skip extra lean turkey since it can dry out. |
| Egg | Helps bind the mixture. |
| Panko breadcrumbs | It is satisfying to Panko but any breadcrumbs will work! |
| Red onion | Grated for even flavor. Yellow onion or shallot also work. |
| Parsley & mint | Fresh herbs make a huge difference. If you don’t have mint, dill is a great alternative. |
| Greek yogurt & Feta cheese | Use whole milk yogurt for creaminess. Sour cream works in a pinch. Block feta has the best flavor and texture. |
| Lemon | Fresh zest and juice brighten everything up in these Greek turkey meatballs. |
