Instructions

1. 1

   Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F (200 degrees C). Line a sheet pan with foil or parchment paper.

2. 2

   In a large bowl, combine parsley, rosemary, oregano, dill, mint, salt, and pepper. Stir to combine. Set aside 2 tablespoons of herbs to use with vegetables later in the recipe.

3. 3

   To the large bowl, add breadcrumbs, shallot, garlic, and lemon zest; stir to combine. Whisk beaten egg with 1 tablespoon olive oil, and stir into the breadcrumb mixture. Add ground turkey.

4. 4

   Mix all ingredients well using your hands. If meatballs seem too wet, work in another tablespoon of bread crumbs. Form into 18 (1 1/4-inch) meatballs and place on the prepared pan. Spray meatballs with olive oil spray.

5. 5

   Bake in the preheated oven for 15 minutes.

6. 6

   Meanwhile, combine lemon juice, reserved 2 tablespoons herb mixture, and remaining 1 tablespoon olive oil, and toss with red pepper, green pepper, red onion, and zucchini slices.

7. 7

   Remove meatballs from the oven; distribute vegetables around the meatballs on the pan.

8. 8

   Return the pan to the oven; continue baking until vegetables are tender and meatballs are no longer pink in the center, about 15 minutes. An instant-read thermometer inserted into the center should read at least 160 degrees F (70 degrees C).

9. 9

   Sprinkle with crumbled feta cheese, chopped tomatoes, and olives. Serve warm.
