Baking the meatballs instead of frying keeps this weeknight-friendly, and mixing oregano, garlic, and a little lemon zest into the turkey keeps them from tasting bland the way lean ground turkey sometimes can. They land on a bed of orzo tossed with wilted spinach and a squeeze of lemon.

We tagged this fitness__athlete_nutrition and high-protein because ground turkey breast is a lean, protein-dense base, and orzo brings enough carbohydrate along to make this a genuine post-training dinner rather than just a light bite. It's a common choice when you want something warm and familiar after a workout.

Don't skip the lemon zest in the meatball mix — it's a small step that keeps the whole dish from tasting one-note.
