  • 3 teaspoons kosher salt, divided
  • 1 lemon, zested and juiced
  • ¼ cup extra-virgin olive oil
  • 2 pounds ground turkey
  • ½ cup finely chopped fresh herbs (mix of parsley, basil, and lemon balm), loosely packed
  • 1 egg
  • 2 tablespoons plain Greek yogurt
Directions
  1. Preheat the oven to 400 F.
  2. Line two baking sheets with parchment paper.
  3. In a medium mixing bowl, combine the cauliflower, 2 teaspoons kosher salt, lemon zest and juice, and olive oil.
  4. Reserve 1 cup of the mixture for the meatballs. Set aside.
  5. Add the remaining cauliflower to one baking sheet, smoothing it out into a single layer.
  6. In a medium mixing bowl, combine the turkey, 1 teaspoon salt, reserved cauliflower, herbs, egg, and yogurt.
  7. Form the turkey mixture into meatballs and place them on the other baking sheet. You should have 20 meatballs.
  8. Bake both trays for approximately 25–30 minutes. Broil for an additional few minutes, if desired, for additional browning.

  10. Store and reheat for lunch or dinner during the work week.
