I have finally cracked the code on how to make the most tender juicy meatballs made with just Turkey. Typically to make meatballs moist they are made with a combination of both beef and pork. These turkey meatballs are a game changer. By grating the onion and using all the juices creates a great depth of flavour. The greek yogurt is my secret weapon in keeping them moist. If the ingredients are too wet, just add in a bit more bread crumbs.
They are packed with tons of flavour and you can’t help but come back for more. Pair it with your favourite tomato sauce, barbecue sauce, tzatziki or even chimichurri. The world is your oyster so free free to explore all of the above options. They are super easy to make and I guarantee you will never make it another way again.

- In a large bowl, mix together onions, garlic, breadcrumbs, egg, greek yogurt, Parmesan cheese, basil, rosemary, red pepper flakes, s & p.
