Za’atar Turkey Meatballs With Tahini Yogurt

Za’atar Turkey Meatballs With Tahini Yogurt
Rachel Vanni for The New York Times. Food Stylist: Spencer Richards.

Recipe by Sheela Prakash | Total time: 35 minutes

Creamy tahini-spiked yogurt plays a dual role in these quick baked turkey meatballs: Half is combined with the ground meat and herby, earthy za’atar to ensure that the meatballs are extra juicy and tender, while the rest doubles as a drizzling and dipping sauce. How you choose to serve the duo of meatballs and tahini yogurt is up to you: Stuff them into split pita, serve them over cooked grains like rice or bulgur, or just sit them alongside a pile of garlicky greens.
