Preparation
  1. Gather all your ingredients. Pre-cook your quinoa or rice according to the package instructions.
Making the Meatballs
  1. In a large bowl, combine the ground turkey, breadcrumbs, feta cheese, onion, garlic, oregano, salt, and pepper. Mix until just combined—be careful not to over mix!
  2. Roll the mixture into small meatballs, about 1 inch in diameter.
Cooking the Meatballs
  1. In a large skillet, heat olive oil over medium heat. Add the meatballs in batches, making sure not to overcrowd the pan.
  2. Cook for 7-8 minutes, turning occasionally until golden brown and cooked through.
Assembling Your Bowls
  1. Start with a base of quinoa or rice, then add a generous portion of meatballs. Top with halved cherry tomatoes, diced cucumber, and a dollop of tzatziki sauce.
  2. Finish off with a sprinkle of fresh parsley. Serve warm and enjoy!

Notes

Substitutions: If you're watching your carbs, swap out quinoa or rice for cauliflower rice! Don’t crowd your meatballs while cooking for perfect browning. Leftovers can be stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.
