Equipment

Ingredients
  

Meatballs:

  • 1 lb ground turkey
  • ½ cup cooked quinoa
  • 1 cup shredded zucchini squeezed to remove excess moisture
  • 1 large egg
  • 1 teaspoon dried oregano
  • ½ teaspoon dried dill
  • Salt and pepper to taste

Sweet Potato Wedges:

  • 2 large sweet potatoes cut into wedges
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil
  • Salt and pepper to taste

Toppings & Sides:

  • Tzatziki sauce (store-bought or homemade)
  • 1 cucumber thinly sliced
  • Pickled red onions
  • Crumbled feta cheese

Instructions
 

  • Preheat the Oven: Preheat the oven to 400°F (200°C) and line a large baking sheet with parchment paper.
  • Prepare the Meatballs: In a large mixing bowl, combine 1 lb ground turkey, ½ cup cooked quinoa, 1 cup shredded zucchini (squeezed to remove excess moisture), 1 large egg, 1 teaspoon dried oregano, ½ teaspoon dried dill, salt, and pepper. Mix until well combined and form into 1.5-inch meatballs.
  • Arrange on Baking Sheet: Place the meatballs on one side of the prepared baking sheet. Arrange the sweet potato wedges on the other side, drizzle with 2 tablespoons of olive oil, and season with salt and pepper. Toss to coat evenly.
  • Bake: Bake for 25-30 minutes, or until the meatballs are fully cooked and the sweet potatoes are tender and golden brown.
  • Serve: Serve the meatballs and sweet potato wedges with tzatziki sauce, cucumber slices, pickled red onions, and crumbled feta cheese.

Notes

Zucchini Tip: Be sure to squeeze out the moisture from the shredded zucchini to prevent soggy meatballs.
Meal Prep: You can prep the meatballs ahead and store them in the refrigerator for up to 24 hours before baking.
Air Fryer Option: To cook the meatballs in an air fryer, arrange them in a single layer and cook at 375°F (190°C) for 15-18 minutes.
