I'm always thinking up new ways to make meatballs. The options are limitless, they're perfect for a meal or snack, and everyone loves them. So when I created Greek Style Meatballs with Tzatziki Sauce, I knew my family would be happy. I combined ground turkey with a bunch of goodies, including fresh herbs, lemon, and zucchini. I then popped them in the oven. When cooked to a golden brown, we dipped them in the homemade sauce. Each bite was bursting with flavor. I served them for dinner with a Greek Salad and Pita for a delicious meal.
