These Greek Meatballs with Feta Tzatziki, similar to keftedes, are made with beef but you can sub lamb or turkey. Serve with pita or over salad for a keto/paleo version!

Ingredients
 

Feta Tzatziki:

  • 2 cups plain Greek yogurt
  • 1 1/2 tsp minced garlic
  • 2 tsp fresh chopped parsley
  • 1 tsp dried mixed herbs
  • Juice of 1/2 lemon, about 1 tbsp
  • 1 tbsp finely diced cucumber
  • 1 tbsp crumbled feta cheese

Meatballs:

  • 1 lb lean ground beef
  • 1 egg
  • 2 tbsp crumbled feta cheese
  • 2 tsp parsley
  • 1 tsp minced garlic
  • 1 tsp salt
  • 1/2 tsp black pepper
  • 1 tsp onion powder
  • 1 tbsp olive oil

Optional for serving:

  • Pita bread
  • Sliced cucumber
  • Thinly sliced red onion

Instructions
 

  • Preheat oven to 400 degrees F (205 degrees C). Spray a baking sheet with cooking spray.
  • In a bowl, mix together all the ingredients for the feta tzatziki. Cover with plastic wrap and refrigerate until meatballs are served.
  • Add all ingredients for the meatballs to a large bowl. Combine using your hands until everything is well incorporated. Form into 1 inch wide balls and set on greased baking sheet at least an inch apart.
  • Bake the meatballs for 15 minutes in the preheated oven. Remove from oven and flip the meatballs. Bake for another 10 minutes, or until completely cooked through.
  • Serve the meatballs with the feta tzatziki sauce, and pita, cucumber, and red onion if desired.

Notes

  • You can easily substitute ground lamb, chicken, or turkey for the beef. No other adjustments needed.
  • These meatballs are delicious on a bed of greens with the tzatziki as dressing!
  • Adjust the size of the meatball depending on how you're serving it (smaller as an appetizer or larger for a main meal).
