    Ingredients to make these balls

    For the ground turkey meatballs

    1. 1 lb ground turkey
    2. ⅔ cup feta cheese
    3. 2 cloves minced garlic
    4. 1 medium onion, diced
    5. 1 egg
    6. 1 tsp dried oregano
    7. kosher salt to taste
    8. ground black pepper to taste
    9. 1 tbsp worcestershire sauce
    10. 1 tsp paprika
    11. 1 tbsp Adobo all purpose seasoning with cumin

    For the yogurt dill sauce

    1. 1 cup plain greek yogurt
    2. ½ tsp lemon pepper
    3. 1 tsp dill
    4. juice from half a lemon
    5. kosher salt to taste
    6. ground black pepper to taste

    Directions to make cheese stuffed meatballs

    1. In a large bowl combine garlic, onion, ground turkey, egg, worcestershire sauce and all the spices. Mix well to combine.
    2. Form balls using hands. Push top of knuckle into each ball to form a small indent. Stuff with cheese and close cheese inside of ball.
    3. Place balls on a baking pan lined with parchment paper.
    4. Bake at 375 ° for 30 minutes. 
    5. If you choose to fry the meatballs, place balls on large non-stick skillet and pour 1 tbsp of avocado on top. Cook the meatballs until they are cooked all the way through. Roll balls around in pan occasionally to be sure all sides are cooking evenly. Will take about 25 min. 
    6. Serve with the yogurt dill sauce or your choice of desired toppings!  Can also serve with a whole wheat starch, like brown rice or quinoa, or a veggie of your choice :
