Tonight's tender shawarma-spiced turkey meatballs have a surprising twist: Their added boost of flavour comes from the addition of briny olives. Spiced roasted peppers, carrots and onion petals round out this Cal and Carb Smart meal, while a drizzle of creamy hummus provides a zippy finish. Ingredients: Ground turkey • Carrots • Sweet bell pepper • Yellow onion • Hummus (chickpeas (chickpeas, water, salt), soybean oil, tahini (sesame), water, salt, sea salt, concentrated lemon juice, sugar, modified corn starch, garlic, olive oil, canola oil, sunflower oil, garlic powder, spices, natural flavour, xanthan gum, citric acid, phosphoric acid, sodium bisulphate, potassium sorbate, sodium benzoate, calcium disodium EDTA) (sesame) • Spring mix (lolla rosa multi-leaf lettuce, red flash red oak lettuce, red leaf multi-leaf lettuce, green oak lettuce, bally hoo tango lettuce) • Mixed olives (pitted green olives, pitted kalamata olives, water, salt, lactic acid, potassium sorbate, vinegar, calcium chloride) • Mayonnaise (canola and/or soy oil, liquid whole egg, frozen egg yolk, water, salt, sugar, vinegar, concentrated lemon juice, spice extract, mustard, lactic acid, calcium disodium EDTA) (mustard, egg) • Panko breadcrumbs (bleached wheat flour, yeast, sugar, salt) (wheat) • White wine vinegar (wine vinegar, potassium metabisulfite) (sulphites) • Shawarma spice blend (paprika powder, spices, garlic powder, onion powder, black pepper, salt, herbs, canola oil, citric acid, oleoresin paprika, silicon dioxide) (sulphites) • Parsley.

Customer reviews

Review summary

Updated on Feb 2026
  • Flavor: Many enjoyed the unique olive-stuffed meatballs and flavorful hummus sauce, though some found the dish a bit bland overall.
  • Ease of prep: Generally easy to make, though some had trouble keeping meatballs intact around olives; chopping olives and mixing into meat was suggested.
  • Suggestions: Consider adding more vegetables or a grain side; increase seasoning in meatballs for bolder flavor; ensure enough olives for all meatballs.
  • Portions: Several found servings small, especially for the salad greens; adding more vegetables or a grain could make it more filling.
