This Greek Turkey Meatballs recipe brings Mediterranean flavors to your table with lean ground turkey, tangy feta cheese, and fresh herbs—perfect for a healthy dinner or easy meal prep that the whole family will adore.
ground turkey (93% lean)
crumbled feta cheese (room temperature for easier mixing)
finely chopped yellow onion (or shallot)
garlic, minced (use a microplane for less cleanup)
large eggs, lightly beaten
panko breadcrumbs (whole-wheat panko for extra fiber)
chopped fresh parsley (flat-leaf recommended)
dried oregano (or 2 tablespoons fresh, chopped)
sea salt
black pepper
extra-virgin olive oil (for drizzling)
Lemon wedges, for serving (optional but bright!)
I learned that letting the mixture chill for 10 minutes makes rolling so much smoother. If you notice meatballs shrinking, tight packing in the bowl was the culprit—looser mixing helps. For more depth, grate a pinch of lemon zest into the mix. Using a kitchen scale ensures uniform meatballs, so they cook evenly.
