Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 lb ground turkey (lean)
  • 1/4 cup breadcrumbs (panko recommended)
  • 1/4 cup grated Parmesan cheese
  • 1 large egg (room temperature)
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 tsp dried oregano
  • Salt and pepper to taste
  • 2 tbsp olive oil (extra virgin for cooking)
  • 1 cup cooked quinoa
  • 1 cup baby spinach
  • 1/2 cup cherry tomatoes, halved
  • 1/2 cup shredded carrots
  • 1/4 cup cucumber, diced
  • 1/4 cup crumbled feta cheese (optional)
  • 3 tbsp olive oil (for dressing)
  • 1 tbsp lemon juice
  • 1 tsp Dijon mustard
  • 1 tsp honey (optional)
  • Salt and pepper to taste (for dressing)

Instructions

  1. Cook quinoa according to package instructions (generally 1 cup quinoa to 2 cups water, simmer 15 minutes). While it cooks, rinse and chop baby spinach, cherry tomatoes, cucumber, and shred carrots. Set aside.
  2. In a large bowl, combine ground turkey, breadcrumbs, Parmesan, minced garlic, egg, oregano, salt, and pepper. Mix just until combined to avoid tough meatballs.
  3. Roll the mixture into roughly 1 1/2-inch balls, about 16 meatballs total.
  4. Heat 2 tablespoons olive oil in a skillet over medium heat. Add meatballs in a single layer without crowding. Cook about 7 minutes on one side until browned, then flip and cook another 7-8 minutes until cooked through (internal temp 165°F).
  5. While meatballs cook, whisk together olive oil, lemon juice, Dijon mustard, honey, salt, and pepper in a small bowl or shake in a jar.
  6. Divide cooked quinoa into bowls. Top with baby spinach, cherry tomatoes, shredded carrots, cucumber, and feta cheese. Place turkey meatballs on top and drizzle with dressing.
  7. Optionally toss gently or garnish with fresh parsley or crushed red pepper flakes.

Notes

Use almond flour instead of breadcrumbs for gluten-free meatballs. Swap feta with dairy-free cheese for vegan-friendly option. Coconut yogurt-based dressing can replace lemon-Dijon for creamier dairy-free dressing. Cook quinoa a day ahead to save time. Let meatballs rest off heat for juiciness. Avoid overmixing meat to prevent toughness. Cook meatballs in batches to avoid overcrowding pan.
