An Easy & Delicious Dinner (your kids will like!)

We absolutely LOVE a good meatball recipe! Sometimes when cooking with a lean meat, like ground turkey, things can dry out quickly. But we have truly mastered the art of keeping ground turkey and chicken recipes juicy and tender. Just check out the ingredients to see what our secrets are :) Plus, they are packed with flavor and can easily be served deconstructed on a plate for the kiddos! That’s a win-win in our book!

Dairy-Free + Gluten-Free Report

Dairy-Free: simply use a dairy-free yogurt alternative in the sauce and either omit the feta cheese or use an alternative there as well.

Gluten-Free: just use gluten-free breadcrumbs in the meatballs and serve without the pita or use a gluten-free version!


45 Minute Weeknight Dinner

This recipe comes together in approx. 45 minutes - (even less if you prep the sauce + pickled onions ahead of time)! 


Kid Report (Did My Kids Eat This)

Yes, they just prefer everything separated on a plate! I think a lot of kiddos don’t like everything piled on together (at least my kids don’t), so just separating things out generally increases the chances that they will eat it!


Meal Prep (Set Yourself Up for Success)

  • Make Sauce: combine all the Herby Green Sauce in a small food processor and refrigerate until you need it!

  • Quick Pickled Onions: if you plan to serve with the pickled red onions, those can easily be made ahead of time and stored in the fridge until ready.

  • Meatballs: if you have time, you could even make the meatball mixture, form the meatballs, or cook them ahead of time. Getting as far as any one of these steps will make your dinner even easier!

Alright let’s dive into some step-by-step photos so you can see all the key steps and then the recipe follows!

Tools I Used:

  • Small Food Processor

  • 1 Tablespoon Cookie Dough Scoop

  • Lodge Cast Iron Skillet

  • Sharp Chef’s Knife
