Greek Style Turkey Meatballs With Lemon Sauce

October 30, 2015   |   1 Comment

Last night I had a package of ground turkey and no dinner plan. I decided to make Greek style turkey meatballs with lemon sauce and they were a bit hit! I served them with spaghetti and asparagus. I’ve made something similar before, but this time I switched out one ingredient and it really made a difference! I always use oats in my meatballs and meatloaf, but sometimes I find that the density can be a little on the firm side when using lean ground turkey or chicken breast. Using soft bread crumbs made a difference time and I will continue to make them this way from here on out.

While the meatballs are baking, make your lemon sauce.

Lemon Sauce

  • 4 TBSP Butter
  • 1 Clove Garlic, Very Finely Minced
  • 1 Cup Chicken Broth
  • Juice of 1 Lemon
  • 1 TSP Fresh Lemon Zest
  • Salt & Fresh Cracked Pepper, To Taste
  • 1 TSP Corn Starch
  • 1-2 TBSP Water
  • Capers, optional

In a medium pot or skillet, melt butter over medium heat. Add garlic and slightly brown. Next, add chicken broth and lemon juice. Reduce heat a little and stir. Add lemon zest, salt and pepper. In a small cup, mix the corn starch with 1 TBSP water. If the consistency  it too thick, add a little more. Switch back to medium heat and add the corn starch mixture to the pot. Stir continuously and allow to thicken. It should take about 2-3 minutes. Remove from heat and add capers, if desired.

Spoon sauce over the meatballs. Serve over rice or pasta.
