Weeknight MVP: Mediterranean Meatball Bowls
If you’ve been around for a minute, you know I have an obsession with bowl recipes. For this meatball bowl we’re using ground turkey meatballs that we load with fresh herbs and flavor. The other ingredients all pair seamlessly for a healthy, protein packed meal that hits the spot every single time. It’s also perfect for picky eaters because everyone can build their bowl how they want.
How to make Mediterranean Meatball Bowls:
Make Tzatziki Sauce Combinetzatziki sauce ingredients in a bowl and store in the fridge until ready toassemble bowls.
Shape Meatballs: Add meatballs ingredients in a bowl then mix to combine. Scoop the meat and shape into twelve 2-tablespoon size balls (about 50 grams each).
Cook Meatballs: For air fryer (recommended), cook at 400 degrees F for 8-10 minutes, turning halfway through (165 degrees F). Alternately, bake meatballs at 375 degrees F, on a lined baking sheet, for about 15 minutes.
Assemble: For each serving, spoon ½ cup rice into a bowl. Top with three mediterranean turkey meatballs, a handful of cucumber and tomato, 2 tablespoons each of hummus and tzatziki sauce, 1 Tablespoon feta, then a sprinkle of fresh parsley.
Make Ahead and Freezing Instructions:
To Make Ahead: The tzatziki sauce can be made a few days ahead, stored in the fridge. Chop veggies a few hours ahead of time.
