Ingredients
For the Turkey Meatballs
- 1 pound ground turkey
- 1/4 cup breadcrumbs (use gluten-free if needed)
- 1/4 cup finely chopped onion
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 tablespoon fresh parsley, chopped
- 1 teaspoon dried oregano
- Salt and pepper to taste
- 1 medium egg
For the Bowls
- 2 cups cooked brown rice or quinoa
- 1 medium cucumber, chopped
- 1 cup cherry tomatoes, halved
- 1/2 medium red onion, thinly sliced
- Feta cheese, crumbled (optional)
- Tzatziki sauce (for drizzling)
Instructions
Prepare the Meatballs
- In a large bowl, mix together the ground turkey, breadcrumbs, onion, garlic, parsley, oregano, salt, pepper, and egg. Form the mixture into small meatballs, about 1 inch in diameter.
Cook the Meatballs
- Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper and place the meatballs on it. Bake for 20–25 minutes or until they are cooked through and golden brown.
Assemble the Bowls
- While the meatballs are baking, prepare your bowls. Start with a base of brown rice or quinoa. Top with chopped cucumber, cherry tomatoes, and red onion.
Add the Meatballs
- Once the meatballs are done, place 3-4 meatballs on top of each bowl.
Finish with Toppings
- Crumble feta cheese over the bowls and drizzle with tzatziki sauce for added flavor.
Notes
Use Lean Turkey: Opt for ground turkey with lower fat content for a healthier option. Customize Your Tzatziki: Homemade tzatziki can enhance your bowls. Simply mix Greek yogurt, diced cucumber, minced garlic, lemon juice, and seasonings for a fresh taste. Meal Prep: Feel free to make extra meatballs and store them in the fridge for quick meals throughout the week.
