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
Ingredient note
Herbs and spices can carry nickel, so a low nickel diet limits them, but the small amount of oregano used to season this recipe is likely fine. If you prefer to always avoid oregano, please tap it and change its rating to Red.
1 lemon, zested juice and juiced (about 2 tbsp juice), divided
½ tsp salt
¼ tsp black pepper

For the pan sauce

2 tbsp olive oil
1 cup chicken broth
1 tbsp cornstarch
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.
