There is something so satisfying about a good meatball, especially when it is lightened up with turkey. These Greek meatballs have become a staple in my kitchen because they stay moist and are bursting with fresh flavors like parsley and garlic.

I love serving these for a quick weeknight dinner because the feta sauce comes together in minutes. My biggest tip is to not overmix the meat, as that keeps them tender rather than tough.

🧺 Ingredients

1 pound ground turkey
1/2 cup panko breadcrumbs
1/4 cup finely chopped fresh parsley
1/4 cup crumbled feta cheese
1 egg, lightly beaten
2 cloves garlic, minced
1 teaspoon dried oregano
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/4 teaspoon black pepper
1 tablespoon olive oil
1/2 cup plain Greek yogurt
1 tablespoon lemon juice

👩‍🍳Instructions

1
Preheat your oven to 400 degrees Fahrenheit and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
2
In a large bowl, gently combine the ground turkey, breadcrumbs, parsley, feta, egg, garlic, oregano, salt, and pepper. Use your hands to mix just until combined.
3
Roll the mixture into about 12 to 15 evenly sized meatballs and place them on your prepared baking sheet.
4
Drizzle the meatballs with olive oil and bake them for 18 to 20 minutes until they are golden brown and cooked through.
5
While the meatballs bake, stir together the Greek yogurt and lemon juice in a small bowl to create your dipping sauce.
6
Serve the warm meatballs with the creamy feta sauce on the side.

💡 Tips

You can serve these over a fresh Greek salad or tucked into warm pita bread for a great lunch. Store any leftovers in an airtight container in the fridge for up to three days.
