Baked Greek Meatballs with Tzatziki

Baked Greek Meatballs with Tzatziki

Fresh, flavorful, and packed with nourishing ingredients, these Baked Greek Meatballs with Tzatziki are everything you want in a balanced weeknight meal or a crowd-pleasing lunch. Featuring lean ground turkey, aromatic herbs, and simple veggies, this dish brings all the vibrant flavors of the Mediterranean to your kitchen—without complicated prep or heavy ingredients.

The baked turkey meatballs are tender and herby, thanks to a mix of garlic, red onion, mint, and oregano. Baking, rather than pan-frying, keeps the meatballs light and fuss-free while locking in moisture and flavor. Paired with a refreshing salad of cherry tomatoes, cucumber, and red onion, and served over gluten-free orzo, the result is a colorful bowl that feels both hearty and refreshing.

One of the standout elements of this dish is the homemade tzatziki—a creamy, tangy sauce made with yogurt, cucumber, and lemon. It’s rich in probiotics, supports digestion, and adds a cooling contrast to the warm, savory meatballs. And with lean protein from the turkey and fiber-rich veggies, this meal fuels your body with what it needs to feel energized and satisfied.

Whether you’re meal prepping for the week or serving up something special for guests, these Baked Greek Meatballs with Tzatziki offer a wholesome, well-rounded option that’s just as nourishing as it is delicious.
