What goes well with Greek turkey meatballs with feta

There are so many options when it comes to how to serve these high-protein Greek turkey meatballs and what will taste fantastic with them. The fresh flavors of the meatballs compliment so many different types of food. 

My first thought is a Greek salad. Creating a salad with some fresh spinach, tomato, olives, and artichokes. Topped with these meatballs, a drizzle of olive oil, and some lemon juice sounds so divine. 

Another way to serve would be over white rice, with fresh veggies and a homemade tzatziki sauce. Like I said above in the substitution section, you could also use some plain Greek yogurt instead of the tzatziki sauce. 

A third way is over your favorite pasta. The flavors in the meatballs would compliment a red or white sauce so well. 

​Finally, try serving with some pita bread, goat cheese, and fresh kalamata olives.
