Ingredients
- 1 lb ground turkey
- 1/2 cup crumbled feta cheese
- 1/4 cup finely chopped red onion
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 large egg, lightly beaten
- 1/4 cup plain breadcrumbs
- 2 tablespoons chopped fresh mint
- 1 tablespoon chopped fresh oregano
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 1/2 teaspoon black pepper
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
Instructions
- In a large bowl, combine ground turkey, feta, red onion, garlic, egg, breadcrumbs, mint, oregano, salt, and pepper. Mix gently until just combined.
- Form the mixture into 1.5-inch meatballs (about 20).
- Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add meatballs in a single layer (work in batches if needed).
- Cook, turning occasionally, until browned on all sides and cooked through (internal temperature 165°F), about 15-20 minutes.
- Remove from skillet and drain on paper towels. Serve warm with tzatziki sauce and lemon wedges.
Tips
- To keep meatballs moist, avoid overmixing the turkey mixture.
- These meatballs can be baked at 400°F for 18-20 minutes instead of pan-frying.
- Store leftovers in the refrigerator for up to 3 days; reheat gently in a skillet or microwave.
