Ingredients
  

For the meatballs

  • 1 medium zucchini
  • 1 lb ground turkey
  • 2 tsp fresh parsley chopped
  • 2 tsp fresh dill chopped
  • 2 tsp garlic powder
  • 1 tsp onion powder
  • Salt pepper
  • 2 tsp olive oil
  • 1 tsp lemon juice
  • 3 tbsp almond flour
  • 2 tbsp coconut flour
  • 1 egg
  • 1 cube about 1oz goat/sheep feta cheese

For the yogurt sauce 

  • ½ cup coconut yogurt
  • 1 cube about 1oz goat/sheep feta cheese
  • ½ tbsp lemon juice
  • 1 tsp garlic powder
  • 1 tsp fresh dill chopped
  • Salt to taste
  •  

For the bowls

Instructions
 

  • Preheat the oven to 400 F and line a large baking sheet with lightly greased parchment paper. 
  • Shred the zucchini and lightly salt. Allow to sit for 5 minutes before squeezing out the excess water. Add the zucchini to a bowl along with the herbs, salt, pepper, onion powder, garlic powder, olive oil, lemon juice, almond flour, coconut flour, and egg. Crumble the feta cheese finely into the bowl. 
  • Use your hand to gently mix the meatball mixture until combined. Using a meatball scoop, scoop about 12-14 meatballs, rolling them into round and uniform meatballs. Place them on the baking sheet, adding some avocado oil or olive oil spray on top.
  • Transfer to the preheated oven and bake for 30 minutes, flipping halfway. The meatballs should measure 165 F internally. Set aside.
  • Make the yogurt sauce by adding all ingredients to a tall mixing cup. Blend until well incorporated.
  • Serve the bowls with about 3-4 meatballs per bowl with a side of rice, cucumber, pickled onion, and drizzled with yogurt sauce!

Notes

Adjust coconut flour depending on whether or not the turkey is fresh or frozen. Previously frozen turkey will have more moisture and will need more coconut flour as a binder. Fresh turkey will need less, so adjust as you go, depending on how moist your turkey is!
