Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 pound ground turkey
  • 1/4 cup breadcrumbs
  • 1 large egg
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 teaspoon dried oregano
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil
  • 1 medium onion, chopped
  • 1 red bell pepper, chopped
  • 1 green bell pepper, chopped
  • 1 (14.5 ounce) can diced tomatoes, undrained
  • 1/2 cup chicken broth
  • 1/2 cup crumbled feta cheese
  • 2 tablespoons fresh parsley, chopped (for garnish)

Instructions

  1. In a medium bowl, combine the ground turkey, breadcrumbs, egg, minced garlic, oregano, salt, and pepper. Mix gently until just combined.
  2. Roll the mixture into small meatballs, about 1 inch in diameter. You should have about 16-20 meatballs.
  3. Heat the olive oil in a large oven-safe skillet over medium-high heat. Add the meatballs and brown them on all sides, working in batches if necessary. Remove the browned meatballs and set them aside.
  4. Add the chopped onion and bell peppers to the same skillet. Sauté for 5 minutes until slightly softened.
  5. Pour in the diced tomatoes (with their juice) and chicken broth. Bring the liquid to a simmer, scraping up any browned bits from the bottom of the pan.
  6. Return the browned meatballs to the skillet, nestling them into the tomato mixture.
  7. Reduce the heat to low, cover the skillet, and let it simmer for 10-12 minutes, or until the meatballs are cooked through.
  8. Remove the skillet from the heat. Sprinkle the crumbled feta cheese evenly over the top of the meatballs and vegetables.
  9. Garnish with fresh parsley before serving directly from the skillet.

Notes

  • For extra flavor, add a squeeze of fresh lemon juice just before serving.
  • You can substitute ground chicken for ground turkey if you prefer.
  • Serve this skillet over brown rice or with crusty bread to soak up the sauce.
