Alright guys the pièce de résistance my Greek Turkey Balls. These are so yummy!! In my last two posts I shared my Greek Yogurt Sauce and Lemon Garlic Orzo. Those along with these delicious turkey balls make one of my favorite meals. 

For my friends on the keto diet try making your own bread crumbs out of your favorite keto friendly bread. You could also substitute the bread crumbs with grated Parmesan cheese or almond crumbs.

For my vegan friends you can substitute the ground turkey with two cups of canned chick peas ground up in a food processor and leave out the feta cheese and egg.

These are only suggestions. I personally haven’t tested any of these substitutions. If you try any of them please share your thoughts in the comments below.
