½ cup gluten free breadcrumbs
1 large egg
3 cloves garlic, minced
¼ cup red onion, finely grated
⅓ cup crumbled feta cheese
2 tbsp fresh parsley, finely chopped
1 tbsp fresh dill, finely chopped
1 tsp dried oregano

½ tsp salt
¼ tsp black pepper

For the pan sauce

2 tbsp olive oil
1 cup chicken broth
1 tbsp cornstarch
Ingredient note
Cornstarch is a refined starch that anti-inflammatory diets limit as a refined carbohydrate, but the small amount (~3/4 tsp per serving) used to thicken this recipe is likely fine. If you prefer to always avoid corn starch, please tap it and change its rating to Red.
2 tbsp cold water

For serving

1 tbsp fresh parsley, chopped (optional)
lemon wedges (optional)

Instructions

1
Preheat the oven to 425°F (220°C). Line a rimmed baking sheet with parchment paper.
2
In a large mixing bowl, combine the ground turkey, gluten free breadcrumbs, egg, garlic, red onion, feta, parsley, dill, oregano, lemon zest, 1 tbsp of the lemon juice, salt, and black pepper. Mix with your hands until just combined — do not overwork the mixture.
