Ingredients

450ml ground chicken or turkey
6 garlic cloves, chopped (optional)
15g fresh chopped herbs (parsley, oregano, basil)
2 tsp sweet paprika
75g crumbled feta cheese
15 ml olive oil
1 lemon, juice & zest
salt & black pepper
Sides
4 potatoes
1 courgette
1 red pepper
1 green pepper
lemon juice & zest
salt & pepper
extra feta and fresh herbs to serve

  1. In a large bowl mix together all the meatball ingredients. For best results we suggest you use a microplane for the garlic and crumble up the feta well. Cover and let rest in the fridge while you prepare everything else.

  2. Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). Wash and chop your potatoes into 1 inch cubes. Wash the zucchini and cut them in 1/2 inch half moons.

  3. Season the veggies with oil, garlic powder, salt, pepper and lemon juice.

  4. On a large sheet pan, add the potatoes and bake for 10-15 minutes.

  5. While they bake, remove the meatball mixture from the fridge and form 1 inch balls. Work with wet hands for easy handling.

  6. Remove the sheet pan from the oven and add the meatballs and the zucchini.

  7. Continue baking at 400°F (200°C) for another 10-15 minutes or until the meatballs are cooked through, reaching an internal temperature of 165°F (74°C). Garnish with feta cheese and fresh chopped herbs.
