Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 400 F and line two (or three!) large rimmed baking trays with foil. Spray lightly with cooking spray.
- To make the meatballs, add the ground turkey, egg, garlic, panko crumbs (or almond or coconut flour), red onion, parsley, cilantro, 1/2 tsp oregano, 1/2 tsp salt, and 1/4 pepper to a bowl. Mix thoroughly. Roll into meatballs (about 2 Tbsp mixture) and place onto one of the baking trays.
- Cube the sweet potatoes and place onto one of the baking trays. Drizzle with olive oil and season with salt and pepper. Roast at 400 F for a total of 30 - 40 minutes; after 15 minutes, add the red pepper, zucchini, and meatballs; drizzle the veggies with a little more olive oil and season with more salt, pepper, and oregano. Roast vegetables and meatballs another 20 minutes, or until done.
- To make the avocado sauce, add the avocado, Greek yogurt, lemon juice, garlic, salt, and 3 Tbsp water to a blender or food processor. Process until smooth, adding more water if necessary to thin.
- Divide the meatballs, sweet potatoes, and vegetables into portions and drizzle with avocado sauce. Top with feta cheese.
