1
Preheat oven to 400 degrees F. In a large bowl, mix together the ground beef, ground turkey, egg, bread crumbs, dijon mustard, oregano, basil, salt and pepper until well combined.
2
Roll mixture into meatballs (about 20-24) and place them on a broiler pan lightly sprayed with cooking spray.
3
Place in preheated oven and bake for 1518 minutes until cooked through.
4
While meatballs are cooking, whisk together chopped cucumber, Greek yogurt, garlic and dill in a small bowl.
5
Add salt and pepper to taste and cover and refrigerate until ready to eat.
6
Prepare toppings and serve hot meatballs in pita bread with the tzatziki and toppings.
7
The meatballs also freeze well after baking so I often make a double batch of the meatballs when making this meal and freeze half for another night.
8
Just allow them to cool completely and then freeze in a large ziplock bag.
