Enjoy nutritious eating at its best with these Greek Turkey Meatballs! They're packed with fresh herbs and spices, and the creamy feta sauce on top is a total winner.
MEATBALLS: Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F. Grease a large-rimmed baking sheet with cooking spray. Peel and grate the red onion using the large holes of a cheese grater until you have ½ cup. Add to a large bowl. Add remaining meatball ingredients. Gently knead until combined, being careful not to over-work the meat.
MEATBALLS CONT.: With greased hands (spray with cooking spray), scoop a heaped tablespoon of the meat mixture and roll into an evenly-sized ball. Repeat to make about 25-30 meatballs. Place meatballs (spaced out) on the prepared baking sheet and spray generously with cooking spray. Bake for 18 minutes. Carefully flip the meatballs and bake for an additional 5-10 minutes or until golden brown and cooked through.
SAUCE: In a food processor or blender, combine all sauce ingredients. Blend until smooth. Taste and adjust. If the sauce is too thick, add a splash of water (1 tsp at a time) to reach desired consistency. Serve the meatballs with the feta yogurt sauce.
OUR FAVE WAY TO SERVE: Spread a big spoonful of Greek yogurt on the plate, sprinkle lightly with salt. Add a layer of rice or couscous, then top with meatballs. Accompany with lemon wedges, charred/warmed pita, and Greek salad on the side. Finish by drizzling the feta sauce over the meatballs and enjoy!
TO MEAL PREP: Divide rice/couscous and meatballs in meal prep containers for convenient, nutritious meals throughout the week. We use these little containers for the sauce and Greek salad!

Notes
To char pitas: Spray both sides of the pita with olive oil cooking spray (or brush lightly with oil) and char directly over the gas flames (at medium to medium-low heat) for a few seconds. Use tongs to flip until pitas are lightly charred.
