📝 Ingredients
For the Meatballs:

✔ ½ tsp salt (adjust to taste!)
✔ ½ tsp black pepper

✔ 1 egg, lightly beaten (helps hold the meatballs together!)
✔ 1 oz (1 cube) goat/sheep feta cheese, crumbled (adds creamy saltiness!)
For the Yogurt Sauce:
✔ ½ cup coconut yogurt (for a dairy-free option, or Greek yogurt for extra protein!)

👨🍳 Step-by-Step Instructions
Step 1: Prep the Zucchini
1️⃣ Grate the zucchini using a box grater.
2️⃣ Place it in a clean kitchen towel or paper towel, and squeeze out as much moisture as possible.
👉 Why? Removing excess water prevents soggy meatballs!
Step 2: Mix the Meatball Ingredients
1️⃣ In a large mixing bowl, combine:
- Ground turkey
- Grated zucchini
- Fresh parsley & dill
- Garlic powder, onion powder, salt, and pepper
- Olive oil & lemon juice
- Almond & coconut flour (for a light, fluffy texture!)
- Egg (to bind everything!)
- Crumbled feta cheese
2️⃣ Mix gently with your hands or a spoon until just combined.
👉 Pro Tip: Overmixing makes meatballs dense—mix until just combined!
Step 3: Shape & Cook the Meatballs
Oven Method (Easy & Hands-Free!)
1️⃣ Preheat oven to 400°F (200°C).
2️⃣ Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
3️⃣ Roll the mixture into 1.5-inch meatballs and place them evenly on the tray.
4️⃣ Bake for 18–22 minutes, or until golden brown and cooked through (165°F internal temp).
Skillet Method (For a Crispy Outside!)
1️⃣ Heat 1 tbsp olive oil in a skillet over medium heat.
2️⃣ Add meatballs and sear for 2–3 minutes per side, then lower the heat and cover for 5 more minutes, until fully cooked.
👉 Air Fryer Option: Cook at 375°F for 12–14 minutes, shaking halfway!
Step 4: Make the Creamy Yogurt Sauce
1️⃣ In a small bowl, whisk together:
- Coconut yogurt (or Greek yogurt!)
- Crumbled feta cheese
- Lemon juice
- Garlic powder & fresh dill
- Salt to taste
2️⃣ Mix until smooth. Refrigerate for 10+ minutes for best flavor!
👉 Pro Tip: Want it thinner? Add 1 tbsp water or olive oil!
