The Story & Tips

Turkey Meatball Grain Bowls is a two-serving dinner built from cooked or frozen turkey meatballs, quinoa or farro, cucumber, tomatoes, feta, hummus or tzatziki, and lemon. The components are prepared separately, then arranged in bowls, which makes the serving step flexible without adding another sauce or cooking stage.

Cook the quinoa or farro according to its package directions and heat the meatballs until hot through in a skillet or oven. Divide the grains between two bowls, then add the meatballs, cucumber, tomatoes, a dollop of hummus or tzatziki, feta, and lemon wedges. Keeping fresh toppings cool creates contrast with the warm components.

Serve the bowls while warm with a simple seasonal side or fresh fruit. Refrigerate the components separately for up to three days. The exact bowl format also makes it easy to set out the prepared ingredients and assemble each serving at the table.
