Turkey Kefta Meatballs with Mediterranean Roasted Veggies and Lemon Greek Yogurt Sauce for 1 Point

* Prep time: 20 min

* Cook time: 30 min

* Oven Temp: 390

What's in it:

- 1 LB 99% fat free ground turkey (0 points)

- 1 red onion, 1/2 sliced and 1/2 minced (0 points)

- 1 yellow pepper, 1/2 sliced and 1/2 minced (0 points)

- 1 each, zucchini & yellow squash, quartered and cut into 1 inch cubes (0 points)

- 1 cup of cherry tomatoes (0 points)

- 1/2 cup breadcrumbs (5 points)

- 1 egg (0 points)

- 1/2 C fat free greek yogurt (0 points)

- 2 lemons (0 points)

- seasoning: Salt, pepper, garlic powder, cumin, paprika, parsley, cinnamon, allspice, coriander, and spray oil (0 points)

How to make it happen:

- Preheat oven to 390

- In a large glass bowl add zucchini, squash, tomatoes, sliced onion and yellow pepper. Spritz with olive oil spay and season generously with salt, pepper, garlic powder, paprika and the juice of one lemon and add to center of a roasting pan

- Using the same glass bowl you tossed the veggies in add ground turkey, minced onion & yellow pepper, egg, breadcrumb. Add 1 tsp of salt, pepper, garlic powder, cumin, paprika, parsley coriander and 1/2 tsp of cinnamon & allspice - mix well

- Shape into meatball sized portions (makes about 16) and from more of an oblong mini football shape - add to a pan with spray oil cooking on medium and flipping until browned on all sides

- Transfer to the outer edge of the pan with the veggies and pop in the oven to finish cooking for about 20 minutes (until turkey is cooked through and veggies are tender)

- While thats cooking add 1/2 C FF Greek yogurt, the juice of one lemon, salt, pepper, parsley, garlic, and paprika - mix well and set in the fridge

- Makes 16 Kefta meatballs at 1 points per 3

Side Note: I added a side of 90 second Aldi brown riced (1 cup for 4 points) making this a 5 point meal. Make sure you season well and don't be afraid of the salt - taste your veggies and yogurt sauce and keep seasoning until its to your liking! I'd also recommend making extra and serving it for lunch in a low fat wrap or pita.
