Greek Turkey Meatballs Recipe

Greek · Main course · 35 min total

Juicy turkey meatballs infused with Mediterranean flavors like mint, oregano, and feta, perfect as an appetizer or main course with tzatziki.

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

1. In a large bowl, combine ground turkey, feta, red onion, garlic, egg, breadcrumbs, mint, oregano, salt, and pepper. Mix gently until just combined.
2. Form the mixture into 1.5-inch meatballs (about 20).
3. Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add meatballs in a single layer (work in batches if needed).
4. Cook, turning occasionally, until browned on all sides and cooked through (internal temperature 165°F), about 15-20 minutes.
5. 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.
