Ingredients

• 1 pound ground turkey meat, 95% lean
• ⅓ cup plain panko crumbs or plain bread crumbs
• ½ cup crumbled fat free feta cheese
• ½ cup chopped STAR Reduced Sodium Pimiento Stuffed Olives
• 2 green onions, cut into thin slices (trim the tops and ends and discard)
• 3 garlic cloves, minced
• ¼ cup chopped fresh parsley
• 1 teaspoon Italian seasoning
• salt and fresh ground pepper, to taste
• 1 large egg, lightly beaten
• 8 to 10 bamboo skewers
• green, red, and orange pepper, cut into 1-inch squares (I use the mini bell peppers)

Directions

• Heat a grill to medium-high.
• In a large mixing bowl combine turkey meat, bread crumbs, feta, olives, green onions, garlic, parsley, Italian seasoning, salt, pepper and egg; mix well to combine.
• With moistened hands, shape mixture into 16 meatballs, about 2 inches in diameter.
• Thread the meatballs and peppers alternately onto skewers.
• Lightly oil the grates of the grill.
• Place the meatball skewers on the grill and cook for 12 to 15 minutes, rotating about every 3 minutes to cook evenly. Meatballs should be just cooked through, but not overcooked.
• Serve warm with Garlic Yogurt Sauce
