🔥 Easy Lamb Meatballs Recipe – Juicy, Flavorful & Perfect for Any Meal!

ground lamb

🥗Healthier: ground turkey

💰Cheaper: ground beef

Ground turkey is leaner while ground beef is often less expensive.

parmesan cheese

🥗Healthier: nutritional yeast

💰Cheaper: grated pecorino

Nutritional yeast is a dairy-free option, while pecorino is often less costly.

In a large mixing bowl add ground lamb, grated onion, egg, seasoned bread crumb, fresh chopped parsley, minced garlic, lemon zest, salt & pepper.

Mix everything thoroughly so all the ingredients get blended together.

Form your meatballs. My meatballs were 1 ½ tablespoons each.

Line a baking sheet with wax paper and place all your meatballs on top of the wax paper.

Place your meatballs in the refrigerator for 15-30 minutes (This part is optional but if you have the time I definitely recommend doing this step).

While your meatballs are in the refrigerator grab a small mixing bowl.

Slice all your cherry tomatoes in half.

Remove the skin from your cucumber and slice into fourths.

Add sliced tomatoes, cucumbers, white wine vinegar, and 2 teaspoons olive oil to a small mixing bowl.

Mix thoroughly and season with salt & pepper to taste and set aside till the end of the cook.

Heat up a skillet on medium-low heat & add olive oil.

Sear off the meatballs on all sides till they hit an internal temperature of 160 degrees (71 degrees Celsius). This should take around 6-8 minutes.

In a large dish coat the bottom with tzatziki sauce creating a sauce bed.

Place your lamb meatballs on the bed of tzatziki.

Spoon your tomato & cucumber salad between the meatballs.

Garnish with fresh dill & enjoy!
