Ingredients
  

  • 1 lb 450 g ground turkey
  • 1/3 cup chopped fresh spinach
  • 1/2 cup whole-wheat panko breadcrumbs
  • 1/2 cup crumbled feta cheese
  • 1/3 cup whole milk 80 ml
  • 1 large egg
  • 2 tbsp chopped fresh parsley
  • 1 tsp lemon zest
  • 2 medium zucchini sliced into half-moons (about 3 cups / 450 g)
  • 12 oz baby gold potatoes quartered (340 g)
  • 2 tbsp olive oil 30 ml
  • 2 cloves garlic minced
  • 1/2 tsp salt
  • 1/2 tsp black pepper

Method
 

  1. Preheat the oven to 400°F (200°C) and line a large sheet pan with parchment or lightly grease it with oil.
  2. Place the quartered potatoes on the sheet pan, drizzle with 1 tablespoon olive oil, sprinkle with salt and pepper, and toss until evenly coated.
  3. Roast the potatoes for about 10 minutes so they begin to soften and develop golden edges.
  4. In a mixing bowl, combine ground turkey, chopped spinach, breadcrumbs, feta cheese, milk, egg, parsley, lemon zest, garlic, salt, and pepper.
  5. Mix gently with your hands or a spoon until everything is just combined and the mixture feels soft but cohesive.
  6. Form the mixture into evenly sized meatballs, about 1 to 1½ inches wide, and set them aside.
  7. Remove the pan from the oven and add the zucchini slices to the potatoes, tossing with the remaining olive oil.
  8. Arrange the meatballs across the sheet pan between the vegetables so everything cooks evenly.
  9. Return the pan to the oven and roast for 18–20 minutes until the meatballs are lightly browned and cooked through.
  10. Check that the turkey is fully done and the vegetables are tender with golden edges before serving.
