Method

 

MEATBALLS

  1. Preheat oven to 400° and line a rimmed baking sheet with foil. In a large bowl, combine turkey, onion, egg, garlic, panko, parsley, dill, salt, a few good cracks of black pepper, and red pepper flakes. Add feta and gently stir until cheese is just mixed through. Form into 16 meatballs (about 2 tablespoons each). 
  2. Grease foil with a thin layer of oil. Arrange meatballs on foil and gently roll around in oil to lightly coat. 
  3. Bake until golden and cooked through, 18 to 20 minutes.

 

LEMON-YOGURT SAUCE

  2.   Spread yogurt on a plate and top with meatballs. Top with dill and parsley and serve with lemon wedges alongside.
