  • 2 Tbsp chopped fresh parsley
  • 1 Tbsp chopped fresh dill
  • 1 tsp dried oregano

  • 1/2 tsp ground black pepper

  • 1/2 cup cucumber, finely diced and drained
  • 1 Tbsp lemon juice
  • 1 garlic clove, minced (for sauce)
  • 1 Tbsp chopped fresh dill (for sauce)
  • Salt and pepper to taste (for sauce)

Instructions

  1. Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C) and prepare a baking sheet with parchment paper or light oil.
  2. In a bowl, mix ground turkey, onion, garlic, breadcrumbs, egg, parsley, dill, oregano, salt, pepper, and lemon zest until just combined.
  3. Shape into about 16 meatballs and place on the prepared baking sheet.
  4. Drizzle or brush meatballs with olive oil.
  5. Bake for 18–20 minutes until golden and cooked through (165°F internal temperature).
  6. For tzatziki, combine Greek yogurt, cucumber, lemon juice, garlic, dill, salt, and pepper. Mix well and chill until ready to serve.
  7. Serve meatballs warm with tzatziki sauce on the side or drizzled on top. Garnish with additional dill and lemon wedges if desired.

Notes

  • Use full-fat Greek yogurt for a creamier tzatziki.
  • Replace breadcrumbs with almond flour for a low-carb option.
  • Meatballs can also be pan-fried for a crispier texture.
  • Tzatziki can be made ahead and stored in the fridge for up to 3 days.
