Ingredients
  

  • 1 pound ground turkey
  • 1/2 cup breadcrumbs
  • 1/4 cup grated Parmesan cheese
  • 1/4 cup chopped fresh parsley
  • 2 cloves garlic minced
  • 1 teaspoon dried oregano
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • 1/2 teaspoon black pepper
  • 1 large egg
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil
  • 1 cup plain Greek yogurt
  • 1/2 cucumber grated and excess water squeezed out
  • 1 clove garlic minced
  • 1 tablespoon fresh lemon juice
  • 1 tablespoon chopped fresh dill
  • Salt and pepper to taste

Method
 

  1. Preheat the oven to 400°F. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
  2. In a large bowl, combine the ground turkey, breadcrumbs, Parmesan cheese, parsley, garlic, oregano, salt, pepper, and egg. Mix until just combined.
  3. Form the mixture into meatballs, about 1.5 inches in diameter, and place them on the prepared baking sheet. Drizzle the olive oil over the meatballs.
  4. Bake in the preheated oven for 20-25 minutes, or until the meatballs are cooked through and golden brown.
  5. While the meatballs are baking, prepare the tzatziki. In a medium bowl, mix together the Greek yogurt, grated cucumber, garlic, lemon juice, dill, salt, and pepper. Adjust seasoning to taste.
  6. Serve the meatballs warm with a generous dollop of tzatziki on the side.
