Equipment

  • food processor or box grater
  • cheesecloth
  • Medium bowl
  • extra large sheet pan or two smaller sheet pans
  • medium saucepan

Method
 

  1. Shred the cucumber using a food processor or a box grater. Add the shredded cucumber to cheesecloth and press out as much water as possible.
  2. In a medium bowl, combine greek yogurt, sour cream, dill, garlic powder, lemon juice, olive oil, and kosher 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 aluminum foil and spray. If you don't have an extra large sheet pan, use two smaller ones to avoid overcrowding.
  4. Place the cut vegetables onto the sheet pan. Drizzle with oil and sprinkle with Greek seasoning, oregano, and smoked paprika. Massage the spices and oil into the vegetables to ensure even distribution.
  5. Roast vegetables for 20-25 minutes, stirring halfway through. For crispier edges, you can broil for a few extra minutes, watching carefully to prevent burning.
  6. Adjust an oven rack to the top position and preheat oven to 425 degrees F (220 degrees C).
  7. In a bowl, combine ground beef, ground turkey, panko breadcrumbs, smoked paprika, oregano, garlic powder, and kosher salt. Mix gently for about 45-50 seconds to avoid tough meatballs.
  8. Lightly spray your hands with cooking spray and form the meat mixture into about 34 (1 oz) meatballs. Arrange meatballs on a lightly sprayed sheet pan.
  9. Cook meatballs for 10-12 minutes, or until golden brown and the internal temperature reaches 165 degrees F (74 degrees C). Let rest for a few minutes.
  10. To cook meatballs and vegetables simultaneously: Place the pan of vegetables in the oven first and cook for about 12 minutes. Stir the vegetables and return them to the oven. Add the pan of meatballs to the top rack and cook both for an additional 10 minutes.
  11. In a medium saucepan, bring 3 cups of water to a boil with 1 tsp garlic powder, 1 tsp olive oil, and 1 tsp kosher salt.
  12. Add the uncooked pearl couscous and cook for 8-10 minutes, or until done. Stir in fresh lemon juice, if using.
  13. Assemble the bowls: Add 1/2 cup couscous to each bowl. Top with 1 cup of roasted vegetables and 3-4 meatballs. Drizzle with 1-2 tablespoons of tzatziki sauce. Add optional toppings like feta, lettuce, cucumber, or tomato as desired.
