Method
Preparation
- Start by preheating a skillet over medium heat. Add olive oil once it’s hot.
- In a large bowl, combine ground turkey, panko breadcrumbs, beaten egg, oregano, garlic powder, salt, and pepper. Mix until well combined.
- Form the turkey mixture into small meatballs, about the size of a golf ball.
Cooking
- Place the meatballs in the skillet and cook until they are browned on all sides and fully cooked through, about 10-12 minutes.
- While the meatballs are cooking, rinse the quinoa under cold water. In a medium saucepan, bring water or chicken broth to a boil, stir in the quinoa, then reduce heat, cover, and simmer for about 15 minutes until the liquid is absorbed.
- Fluff the quinoa with a fork and set aside.
Assembly
- In a salad bowl, toss together the mixed greens, cherry tomatoes, Persian cucumbers, and red onion.
- To serve, layer the cooked quinoa in bowls, top with meatballs, and add the salad mixture. Finish with crumbled feta, Kalamata olives, a generous dollop of tzatziki, and a sprinkle of fresh dill.
Notes
These bowls can be served warm or at room temperature. Store leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. For best results, keep the salad and tzatziki separate from the quinoa and meatballs.
