Cooking Steps
- Before starting, preheat the oven to 425°F.
- Wash and dry all produce.
- Cut zucchini into 1/2-inch pieces.
- Core, then cut pepper into 1/2-inch pieces.
- To an unlined baking sheet, add zucchini, peppers, 1 tbsp (2 tbsp) oil and half the Shawarma Spice Blend. Season with salt and pepper, then toss to combine.
- Roast veggies in the top of the oven for 12-14 min, until tender-crisp.
- Meanwhile, line another baking sheet with foil.
- To a large bowl, add turkey, breadcrumbs, remaining Shawarma Spice Blend and 1/4 tsp (1/2 tsp) salt. Season with pepper, then combine.
- Roll mixture into 8 (16) equal-sized meatballs.
- On the prepared baking sheet, arrange meatballs. Roast in the middle of the oven for 10-12 min, until browned and cooked through.**
- Meanwhile, heat a medium pot over medium-high.
- When the pot is hot, add couscous. Cook for 2-3 min, stirring often, until couscous is slightly golden.
- Add 2 cups (4 cups) water and 1 tsp (2 tsp) salt. Cover and bring to a boil over high.
- Once boiling, reduce heat to medium-low. Simmer for 6-8 min, still covered, until couscous is tender.
- Juice half the lemon (whole lemon for 4 servings). Cut any remaining lemon into wedges.
- Roughly chop parsley.
- To a small bowl, add mayo, 2 tsp (4 tsp) lemon juice and 1/4 tsp (1/2 tsp) garlic.
- Season with salt and pepper, then whisk until smooth. Set aside.
- Drain and return couscous to the same pot, off heat.
- To the pot with couscous, add roasted veggies and parsley. Season with salt and pepper, then stir to combine.
- Divide roasted veggie couscous between bowls. Top with meatballs and sprinkle with feta.
- Dollop toum over top.
- Squeeze a lemon wedge over top, if you like.
