Instructions
Preparation Steps
- 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 0.25 cup measure, form each meatball 0.25 cup in size, slightly flattened into patties. For best results, refrigerate before cooking to help hold their shape.
- In a pan: spray olive oil in a large nonstick frying pan and cook over very low heat, until cooked through, turning halfway, about 5 to 6 minutes on each side. (or you can bake at 350F for 20-25 minutes).
- On the grill: clean grill well before cooking and spray grate with oil. Cook on low until cooked through, about 5 minutes on each side.
Notes
These Greek Turkey Bites are incredibly versatile. Serve them as an appetizer, over rice with tzatziki sauce, or as part of a chickpea salad. They also freeze beautifully for future meals.
