Ingredients
  

Turkey Meatballs
  • 1 lb Ground Turkey 93% lean recommended (454g)
  • 1/4 cup Fresh Parsley Finely chopped (15g)
  • 1 tbsp Fresh Mint Finely chopped (4g)
  • 2 cloves Garlic Mined
  • 2 tbsp Yellow Onion Grated (30g)
  • 1 tsp Dried Oregano 5ml
Bowl Components
  • 1 cup Basmati Rice 185g dry
  • 1 cup English Cucumber Quartered slices (150g)
  • 1 cup Cherry Tomatoes Halved (150g)
  • 1/4 cup Red Onion Thinly sliced (40g)
  • 1/2 cup Tzatziki Sauce 120ml
  • 1/4 cup Feta Cheese Crumbled (40g)

Equipment

  • 1 Large Skillet For searing meatballs
  • 1 Medium Pot For steaming rice

Method
 

Preparation
  1. Rinse 1 cup basmati rice. Combine with 1.5 cups water and salt in a pot. Boil, then simmer covered for 15 minutes. Let rest 5 minutes before fluffing.
  2. In a bowl, combine ground turkey, herbs, garlic, grated onion, oregano, salt, and pepper. Gently mix and form into 1.5-inch balls.
  3. Heat oil in a skillet over medium-high. Sear meatballs for 3-4 minutes per side until golden-brown and cooked to 165°F (74°C).
  4. Divide rice into bowls. Top with 5 meatballs, cucumber, tomatoes, and red onion. Add a dollop of tzatziki and sprinkle with feta and oregano.

Notes

Use 93% lean turkey for the best moisture balance.
Grate the onion directly into the meat mixture to keep the meatballs extra juicy.
