Mediterranean Turkey Meatballs

I found a recipe for sundried tomato and feta meatballs the other day that sounded good, but I had to give it my own tweaks. I used more tomatoes and feta than the recipe called for, but I also added kalamata olives, and since I don't have almond flour I used some GF panko. I also baked mine instead of frying them. Here's what you need...

1 lb ground turkey
1/2 cup minced sundried tomatoes
1/2 cup crumbled feta
1/4 cup chopped kalamata olives
1/2 cup GF panko
1 tsp dried thyme
1 tsp minced garlic

Combine all the ingredients in a bowl and mix well. Preheat the oven to 350 degrees. Line a cookie sheet with parchment paper, then form your meatballs. I have a one inch meatball scoop that makes this so easy. I baked them for about 10 minutes, then turned them over to brown the other side for about 5 minutes more. This recipe made 25 meatballs. They are great as a snack, or over a salad of mixed greens with some roasted garlic dressing. You could also serve them over spaghetti squash with your favorite red sauce.
