Mini lamb (turkey) meatballs with Feta

I was intrigued with this recipe because it's similar to how I make hamburgers but adds cheese to the mix. I was supposed to use lamb as the meat but I couldn't easily get any on the Sunday afternoon that I made these so I decided to use ground turkey and they turned out really good! I'll post an update once I actually try them with lamb.



Ingredients:

1 - lb ground lamb (turkey)
3 - oz Feta crumbled
2 - Cloves garlic, chopped
1/3 - Cup breadcrumbs
1 - egg
1 - Tbsp green onion, chopped
pepper
36 - Cherry tomatoes
1 - Tbsp melted butter
4 - Springs of thyme
1 - Bay leaf



Directions:

Preheat oven to 425 then chop up some garlic.

(I like chopping up garlic!) 

In a bowl, crack the egg and beat. Add the breadcrumbs, green onion, garlic, feta and pepper. Mix together, then add the ground lamb (turkey) and mix again. To be honest, I forgot to add the egg and everything turned out just fine without it.

mix, mix, mix and form into a giant ball

pull off little pieces and form into 1 inch balls. Place onto a baking sheet

Cook meatballs in oven for 20 - 25 minutes.

While the meatballs are in, it's time to start on the tomatoes. Place Cherry tomatoes in an oven safe bowl, coat with butter, thyme and the bay leaf.

Cook in oven for 10 minutes

Serve meatballs with roasted cherry tomatoes

I also ended up using a Diana's BBQ sauce for a dipping sauce.
