Published: 8/17/2026

Juicy turkey meatballs and cherry tomatoes baked with a block of feta. This one-pan powerhouse is a flavorful evolution of the feta pasta trend.

Ingredients (4 servings)

• 1 lb (450 g) ground turkey meatballs (pre-formed)
• 7 oz (200 g) block of feta cheese
• 2 cups (360 g) cherry tomatoes
• 1 tbsp (~3 g) dried oregano
• 2 tbsp (30 ml) olive oil

Instructions

1. Preheat the oven to 400°F (200°C). Place the feta in the center of a cast-iron skillet; surround it with the meatballs and tomatoes.
2. Drizzle with the olive oil and dried oregano.
3. Bake for 25 minutes.
4. Mash the feta into the tomato juices to create a rich sauce that coats the meatballs.

Pro Tips

• Use the Maillard Reaction: Sear the meatballs in the skillet for 2 minutes on the stovetop before placing them in the oven to build deep browning and flavor.
