These meatballs have evolved over time, looking for a summer light tasting meatball to accompany Greek meze style meals. Meze or mezze means small dishes and often include Hummus, Tzatziki, Olives, Souvlaki, and Grilled Haloumi cheese. Great as a meal, appetizer, or perfect for lunches. 

A few tips for this recipe (although if you don't have these items it will still turn out). Tip #1: If possible use a microplane to zest the lemon, instead of a traditional zester. It will grab more of the top layer of the zest that contains the flavour giving oil, while leaving the white bitter part of the rind. Tip #2: Due to the ground turkey, these meatballs are very moist and can be difficult to form. If you have a cookie scoop at home, this works perfect for making the meatballs. If making for a meal I use a 2 Tbsp scoop and if I am making them for lunches or an appetizer I use a 1 Tbsp scoop.
