Mediterranean Turkey Meatballs with Goat Feta & Greek Yogurt Dipping Sauce

Enjoy these meatballs as an appetizer, hors d’ oeuvre or entrée. Lean organic, free-range ground turkey provides an excellent source of protein. While the Greek yogurt dipping sauce – aside from adding extra protein – is packed with good bacteria in the form of ”probiotics”, which are essential for a healthy digestive tract. The added mint soothes your stomach by assisting in digestion too!
