Recipe Introduction


Greek Turkey Meatballs
Servings: 4 • Serving Size: 4 meatballs • Points: 5 pts
Calories: 254.7 • Fat: 11.2 g • Protein: 26.8 g • Carb: 13.4 g • Fiber: 3.7 g

* 1.25 lbs 93% lean ground turkey
* 1 cup zucchini, grated and liquid squeezed out
* 2 sliced whole wheat bread (I used Weight Watchers)
* 1/4 cup seasoned whole wheat breadcrumbs
* 1 large egg
* 2-3 cloves garlic, grated
* 1/4 red onion, grated
* 2 tbsp fresh oregano, chopped (less if using dry)
* 1/4 cup fresh parsley, chopped
* 2 tbsp chopped fresh spearmint, chopped
* kosher salt and fresh pepper
* about 1 tsp worth of olive oil cooking spray (I use my Misto)

Wet bread with water, squeezing excess out. Tear into small pieces and place in a large bowl. Combine with turkey, egg, zucchini, breadcrumbs, garlic, onion, mint, parsley, oregano, salt and pepper.


Using a 1/4 cup measure, form each meatball 1/4 cup in size. For best results, refrigerate before cooking to help hold their shape. Spray olive oil in a large nonstick frying pan and cook over low heat or on the grill. Makes about 17 meatballs.
