Instructions
- Combine ground turkey, whisked egg, breadcrumbs, onion, mint, parsley, Greek seasoning, and salt in a large bowl.
- Mix until well combined by either using a spatula or your hands.
- Scoop out 2 tablespoons of mixture and roll into a bowl. Spray a bit of non-stick cooking spray on your hands if you’re having trouble with the mixture sticking.
- Repeat with the remaining meat mixture until you have 20 meatballs.
- Optional: (Skip this step if baking the meatballs in the oven.) Place flour in a medium-sized shallow bowl and roll the meatballs in it. Shake off any excess flour.
To Pan-Sear:
- Place a large stainless steel or non-stick skillet over medium heat along with 1 tablespoon of oil.
- Add 10 of the meatballs to the skillet in a single layer. Cook for 7-9 minutes, turning every 1-2 minutes. You’ll know the meatballs are done cooking when the internal temperature reaches 165°F.
To Bake:
- Preheat oven to 375°F.
- Line a large baking sheet with a piece of parchment paper.
- Place meatballs evenly spaced on the baking sheet.
- Bake in preheated oven for 18-22 minutes, or until meatballs are cooked through.
- Serve Greek turkey meatballs with a side of Tzatziki sauce and homemade pita bread. Enjoy!
Notes
- You can also substitute with a low-carb pork Panko if you're on a low-carb diet.
- Storing: These ground turkey meatballs will last for up to 3-4 days if stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator.
- To freeze: Place them on a large baking sheet and pre-freeze for 3-4 hours. Once firm, add the meatballs to a freezer-safe container or gallon-sized Ziploc bag. These meatballs will freeze well for up to a year, but do start to loose their quality after 3-4 months.
