Jalapeno Feta Turkey Meatballs
- 1 pound Ground turkey I used 90/10 for more fat
- 1/4 cup Breadcrumbs I used panko
- 1 Jalapeno, de-seeded and finely chopped
- 2 cloves Garlic, finely minced
- 2 tbsp Fresh mint, chopped
- 1/4 cup Feta, crumbled
- 1 Egg
- Salt
- Pepper
- Olive oil
To Assemble the Bowl
- Tzatziki sauce
- Hummus
- Cucumber, sliced
- Cooked grain of choice we used cous cous, but quinoa or brown rice would be great
- Sliced radishes
- Fresh mint, torn
- Mixed greens
- Feta, crumbled
- Jalapeno Sauce, we got ours from Trader Joe's
To Make the Meatballs
In a large bowl combine breadcrumbs, jalapeno, garlic, mint, egg, a big pinch of salt, and a few grinds of fresh black pepper.
Add ground turkey and gently stir to combine. Fold in crumbled feta.
Heat a heavy, large skillet over medium heat. While skillet is heating form turkey into mini meatballs. This is easy to do with wet hands, so the meat doesn't stick. I got 12 mini meatballs from this recipe.
Add a good glug of olive oil to the hot pan, and once it's shimmering add the meatballs. Sear for ~3 minutes on each side, until a golden crust has formed and the meatballs are cooked through.
To Assemble the Bowl
In a bowl add the mixed greens and a scoop of cooked grains for the base.
Top with three turkey meatballs each, a scoop of hummus and tzatziki, sliced radishes, crumbled feta, and fresh mint. Enjoy!
