Ingredients
  

  • 1 pound ground turkey
  • 1/2 cup breadcrumbs
  • 1/4 cup grated Parmesan cheese
  • 1/4 cup finely chopped fresh parsley
  • 1/4 cup finely chopped onion
  • 2 cloves garlic minced
  • 1 large egg
  • 1 teaspoon dried oregano
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • 1/2 teaspoon black pepper
  • 1/4 teaspoon red pepper flakes optional
  • 1 cup plain Greek yogurt
  • 1/2 cucumber grated and excess water squeezed out
  • 1 clove garlic minced
  • 1 tablespoon fresh lemon juice
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil
  • 1 tablespoon chopped fresh dill

Method
 

  1. Preheat the oven to 400°F. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
  2. In a large bowl, combine ground turkey, breadcrumbs, Parmesan cheese, parsley, onion, garlic, egg, oregano, salt, black pepper, and red pepper flakes. Mix until well combined.
  3. Form the mixture into meatballs, about 1.5 inches in diameter, and place them on the prepared baking sheet.
  4. Bake in the preheated oven for 20-25 minutes, or until the meatballs are cooked through and golden brown.
  5. While the meatballs are baking, prepare the tzatziki sauce. In a medium bowl, mix together Greek yogurt, grated cucumber, garlic, lemon juice, olive oil, dill, salt, and pepper. Adjust seasoning to taste.
  6. Once the meatballs are done, serve them warm with a generous dollop of tzatziki sauce on the side.
