- 2 tablespoons minced fresh flat-leaf parsley
- 1 tablespoon minced fresh rosemary
- 1 tablespoon minced fresh oregano
- 1 tablespoon minced fresh dill
- 1 tablespoon minced fresh mint
- 1 teaspoon kosher salt, or to taste
- 1/2 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
- 2/3 cup plain breadcrumbs
- 1/3 cup minced shallot
- 1 clove garlic, minced
- 1/2 lemon, zested
- 1 large egg, lightly beaten
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 1 pound ground turkey
- Olive oil nonstick cooking spray
- 1/2 lemon, juiced
- 1/2 red or yellow bell pepper, sliced
- 1/2 green bell pepper, sliced
- 1/2 small red onion, sliced
- 1 zucchini, sliced
- 1/2 cup crumbled feta cheese
- 1/2 cup chopped tomatoes
- 2 tablespoons sliced black or Kalamata olives
Directions
- Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F (200 degrees C). Line a sheet pan with foil or parchment paper.
- In a large bowl, combine parsley, rosemary, oregano, dill, mint, salt, and pepper. Stir to combine. Set aside 2 tablespoons of herbs to use with vegetables later in the recipe.
- To the large bowl, add breadcrumbs, shallot, garlic, and lemon zest; stir to combine. Whisk beaten egg with 1 tablespoon olive oil, and stir into the breadcrumb mixture. Add ground turkey.
- Mix all ingredients well using your hands. If meatballs seem too wet, work in another tablespoon of bread crumbs. Form into 18 (1 1/4-inch) meatballs and place on the prepared pan. Spray meatballs with olive oil spray.
- Bake in the preheated oven for 15 minutes.
- Meanwhile, combine lemon juice, reserved 2 tablespoons herb mixture, and remaining 1 tablespoon olive oil, and toss with red pepper, green pepper, red onion, and zucchini slices.
- Remove meatballs from the oven; distribute vegetables around the meatballs on the pan.
- Return the pan to the oven; continue baking until vegetables are tender and meatballs are no longer pink in the center, about 15 minutes. An instant-read thermometer inserted into the center should read at least 160 degrees F (70 degrees C).
- Sprinkle with crumbled feta cheese, chopped tomatoes, and olives. Serve warm.
