Packed with flavorful feta cheese and vitamin K-rich spinach, these Greek meatballs, or keftedes, get a healthy makeover with ground turkey instead of the usual lamb and beef. They’re crazy delicious over couscous or stuffed in pita bread and topped with addictive tzatziki sauce.

Author's Notes

Look for “ground turkey” vs. “lean ground turkey”.

You can find boxed spinach in the frozen section – look for chopped instead of a whole so you can skip a step.

Instead of fresh garlic, substitute with 1 tsp jarred minced garlic. This is usually found in the produce section.

Aluminum foil sprayed with a nonstick cooking spray can be used in place of parchment paper.
