| Greek Turkey Meatballs with Mint Yogurt Sauce Ingredients Meatballs: | |
| 1 large | onion, quartered |
| 5 | garlic cloves |
| 1/2 cup | fresh mint |
| 1/2 cup | Italian parsley |
| 3 lbs | lean ground turkey, (I used 1 lb turkey + 2 lbs venison) |
| 2 | eggs, large |
| 1/2 cup | whole wheat or Panko breadcrumbs, (I make my own from sprouted bread) |
| 1 tsp | salt |
| 1 tsp | black pepper |
| Cooking spray, (I use Misto) | |
| Mint Yougurt Sauce: | |
| 1 cup | Greek yogurt, plain |
| 2 tsp | apple cider vinegar |
| 1/4 cup | fresh mint, minced |
| 1/4 tsp | salt |
| 1/2 tsp | ground black pepper |
Directions
Puree in a food processor/Magic Bullet or finely chop onion, garlic, mint and parsley. Add to a large mixing bowl along with ground turkey, eggs, breadcrumbs, salt and black pepper and mix thoroughly with your hands.
Preheat large skillet or two on medium heat and spray with cooking spray. Scoop meat mixture with a small ice cream scoop and roll into a ball. Place in a skillet and repeat until you run out of mixture/room in the skillets. Cook for 5 - 6 minutes or until golden brown, turn on the other side and cook for another 5 minutes. Feel free to overcrowd the skillet with meatballs. They shrink during cooking and will cook through better. Serve hot with Mint Yogurt Sauce (optional) and your favourite healthy side (quinoa, brown rice, whole wheat pasta/couscous, bulgur) and salad.
To make Mint Yogurt Sauce, combine all ingredients in a small bowl, stir and let stand for 30 minutes to let flavours "marry" each other.
Storage Instructions: Refrigerate covered for up to 3 - 4 days. Freeze cooked or raw (increase cooking time by a few minutes per side) in an airtight container for up to 3 months.
