GREEK MEATBALL BOWL – Healthy & Nutritious
★★★★★ (55 Reviews)
Ingredients
Lean ground turkey (1 lb)
Fresh parsley (1/4 cup)
Fresh dill (1/4 cup)
Red onion (1/2 cup)
Garlic (4 cloves)
Olive oil (2 tbsp)
Crumbled feta cheese (1/4 cup)
Chopped kale (1 cup)
Tahini sauce (1/4 cup)
Quinoa or farro (1 cup)
Directions
1
In a large mixing bowl, combine the ground turkey, parsley, dill, red onion, garlic, and feta cheese. Use your hands to mix everything together until just combined. Be careful not to overmix.
2
Preheat the oven to 400°F (200°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper and use a cookie scoop or your hands to form the meat mixture into meatballs. Place them on the prepared baking sheet, leaving about 1-inch of space between each meatball. Drizzle with olive oil and gently roll them around to coat evenly.
3
Bake the meatballs in the preheated oven for 18-20 minutes, or until they’re cooked through and lightly browned on the outside.
4
While the meatballs are baking, cook the quinoa or farro according to package instructions. Set it aside.
5
In a large skillet, heat some olive oil over medium-high heat. Add the chopped kale and cook until it’s tender and slightly caramelized. To serve, place a scoop of cooked quinoa or farro on a plate or bowl, top it with a few meatballs, and drizzle with tahini sauce. Add some additional kale on top and enjoy!
