Ingredients for Greek Chicken Meatballs

  • Milk: Adds moisture and helps soften the breadcrumbs so the meatballs stay tender instead of dense.
  • Italian Breadcrumbs: Bind the mixture together and give the meatballs structure while soaking up flavor from the seasonings.
  • Ground Chicken: The base protein—lean, mild, and perfect for carrying all those fresh Greek flavors.
  • Feta: Adds creamy, salty pops of flavor and helps keep the meatballs moist.
  • Zucchini: Grated zucchini sneaks in extra moisture (so the chicken doesn’t dry out) plus a little hidden veggie goodness.
  • Lemon: Both juice and zest brighten the flavors, balancing the richness of the chicken and feta with fresh, citrusy notes.
  • Egg: Acts as the “glue” to bind everything together so the meatballs hold their shape.
  • Garlic: Adds savory depth and that classic Mediterranean flavor.
  • Salt: Enhances all the other flavors so the meatballs don’t taste bland.
  • Fresh Mixed Herbs (dill, mint, parsley): Bring freshness and authentic Greek flavor—each herb layers in something unique.
  • Black Pepper: Adds gentle heat and balance to the savory flavors.
  • Olive Oil: Helps the meatballs get golden brown on the outside.

How to Make Greek Chicken Meatballs

  1. Soak the Breadcrumbs: Combine the milk and breadcrumbs in a bowl and let them sit for a few minutes.
  2. Combine: Add all the rest of the ingredients and stir to combine thoroughly.
  3. Form: Use a cookie scoop to form meatballs that are similar in size. Coat your hands in a little olive oil and then roll the meatballs in your hands.
  4. Bake: Cook in the air fryer preheated to 400℉ for 11 minutes or in the oven on a baking sheet (also at 400℉) for 12-15 minutes.

This Turkey Bacon Avocado Sandwich stacks the flavor in a whole new way! First, make a creamy honey avocado spread. Next, pile turkey, avocado, crispy bacon and tomato on your favorite bread. Finally, dig into the best sandwich you’ve ever eaten!

Honey Avocado Sauce

My friend introduced me to the ULTIMATE sandwich spread- Honey Avocado- and I cannot stop making it!

This sauce is the real deal. I mix mayo, avocado, honey and lemon juice with a little garlic in a blender to cream everything together. It’s simple, lasts for days and tastes better than any sandwich shop. Swap in any fillings or breads you like, but don’t skip that special-sauce!

Make it on 7 Grain Bread or Scroll down to watch on Focaccia!

Turkey Bacon Avocado Sandwich Ingredients

  • Favorite bread: Go for a good sturdy 7 grain or focaccia– trust me.
  • Havarti cheese: Mild and creamy; a great complement, but not necessary.
  • Bacon: Make it on a sheet pan, starting in a cold oven or pan for ultimate fat-rendering-crispness.
  • Deli turkey: Choose fresh deli slices or use leftover Thanksgiving turkey if you’ve got some!
  • Avocado: Use a perfectly ripe avocado for a creamier texture; slice thinly.
  • Tomato: Always sprinkle a little salt and pepper on tomatoes in a sandwich!
  • Greens: I love to used mixed greens or peppery arugula, but anything will do! Romaine or green leaf lettuce would be great!
  • Honey Avocado sauce: Blend together the ingredients in a small bowl for the ultimate sandwich spread!
