For the Greek meatballs

  • 1 lb ground turkey
  • ¼ cup panko breadcrumbs
  • ¼ cup red onion, chopped
  • ¼ cup feta cheese
  • 3 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 whole egg
  • 2 teaspoon dried oregano

  • 1 tablespoon fresh dill or 1 teaspoon of dried dill
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced
  • 2 tablespoon lemon juice
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil
  • ½ teaspoon salt
  • cracked black pepper to taste

Instructions
 

Tzatziki Sauce

  • Wrap your grated cucumber in a few paper towels or place it in a cheese cloth and wring out as much liquid as possible.
  • Add your grated cucumber to a large mixing bowl along with the rest of your ingredients and stir until fully combined. Taste and adjust your salt and pepper if needed.
  • Cover the bowl and keep your tzatziki in the refrigerator while you prepare the meatballs.

Meatballs

  • Preheat your oven to 400 degrees and line a baking sheet with parchment paper or spray a baking dish with cooking spray.
  • Add your meatball ingredients to a large bowl and mix them together with your hands.
  • Form the mixture into 1 inch balls and place the balls on your prepared baking sheet. Then place the meatballs in the oven and bake for 15-20 minutes.
  • Once done, serve immediately with your tzatziki and lemon wedges on the side.

Notes

For browning the meatballs before baking, check them at 13 minutes to see if they're done, as they may cook faster.
