Tzatziki Recipe (cut in half)
Tomato Cucumber Feta Salad
Instructions
- In a large bowl, add ground turkey and minced garlic.
- Grate 1/4 red onion into turkey, alternatively chop red onion very small.
- Add egg, breadcrumbs, dill, oregano, salt, and pepper. Mix until just combined, I use my hands.
- Form into 14 meatballs.
- Heat sauce pan with olive oil over medium heat. Once hot, add meatballs and cook for 7-8 minutes, turning every constantly to ensure even cooking on all sides. Once meatballs reach 165F they are done.
- While meatballs are cooking, make Tzatziki.
- Serve over rice!

- Don’t overmix the ingredients—this keeps them tender.
- Make them ahead and store for up to 4 days in the fridge.
- Serve as appetizers with toothpicks and dipping sauce.
