Notes
- Tzatziki sauce recipe.
- Without Egg - I've also tested these meatballs without an egg and with just ¼ cup of breadcrumbs. The texture is slightly different, still tasty but in this case I recommend testing one after 10-11 minutes for doneness.
- Nutrition is calculated together with rice, cucumbers salad, dill, olives.
- Meal prep.
- Divide the rice evenly among four containers and top each with the ground turkey meatballs. In a separate container or small bag, pack the chopped veggies or salad, olives, rice separately, and lemon wedge if using. Store the tzatziki sauce in another separate containers.
- When ready to eat, warm the rice bowls for about 45 seconds in the microwave, covered with a damp paper towel to prevent drying. Top with cucumber salad, olives, squeeze lemon, and add tzatziki sauce to taste.
