Instructions
  1. Wet bread with water, squeezing excess out.

  3. Combine with turkey, egg, zucchini, breadcrumbs, garlic, onion, mint, parsley, oregano, salt and pepper.
  4. Using a ¼ cup measure, form each meatball ¼ cup in size. For best results, refrigerate before cooking to help hold their shape.
