  • 1 tsp garlic powder
  • 1 tsp kosher salt
  • 2 tbsp fresh lemon juice optional
Optional additions
  • Feta
  • Chopped lettuce
  • Chopped cucumber
  • Chopped tomato

Equipment

  • Food processor or box grater
  • Cheesecloth
  • Medium bowl
  • Extra large sheet pan
  • medium saucepan

Method
 

  1. Shred the cucumber using a food processor or a box grater. Add the shredded cucumber to cheesecloth and press out excess water.
  2. In a medium bowl, combine Greek yogurt, sour cream, dill, garlic powder, lemon juice, olive oil, and salt. Stir well. Refrigerate for at least one hour before serving.
  3. Preheat oven to 425 degrees F (220 degrees C). Spray an extra large sheet pan with cooking spray or line with foil and spray. If using two smaller pans, ensure vegetables are not overcrowded.
  4. Place cut vegetables on the sheet pan. Drizzle with oil and sprinkle with Greek seasoning, oregano, and smoked paprika. Massage spices and oil into vegetables.
  5. Roast vegetables for 20-25 minutes, stirring halfway through. For crispier edges, broil for a few extra minutes, watching carefully to prevent burning.
  6. In a bowl, combine ground beef, turkey, panko, paprika, oregano, garlic powder, and salt. Mix gently for about 45-50 seconds to avoid tough meatballs.
  7. Form the meat mixture into about 34 (1 oz) meatballs. Lightly spray a sheet pan with cooking spray and arrange meatballs on it.
  8. Bake meatballs for 10-12 minutes, or until golden brown and internal temperature reaches 165 degrees F (74 degrees C). Let rest for a few minutes.
  9. To cook meatballs and vegetables simultaneously: Place vegetables in the oven first for 12 minutes. Stir vegetables and return to oven. Add meatballs to the top rack and cook both for another 10 minutes.
  10. In a medium saucepan, bring 3 cups of water with garlic powder, olive oil, and salt to a boil.
  11. Add couscous and cook for 8-10 minutes until done. Stir in fresh lemon juice, if using.
  12. Assemble bowls: Add 1/2 cup couscous, 1 cup roasted vegetables, and 3-4 meatballs. Drizzle with 1-2 tablespoons of tzatziki sauce. Add optional toppings like feta, lettuce, cucumber, or tomato.
