Instructions

  1. Preheat oven to 400°F (200°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
  2. In a large bowl, combine all meatball ingredients except the olive oil. Mix gently with your hands until just combined (don’t overmix).
  3. Form into 16 meatballs (about 1-1/2 inch diameter each).
  4. Heat olive oil in a large oven-safe skillet over medium-high heat. Brown the meatballs on all sides, about 2 minutes per side.
  5. Transfer the skillet to the oven and bake for 10-12 minutes until meatballs reach an internal temperature of 160°F (71°C).
  6. Meanwhile, prepare the bulgur: In a medium saucepan, bring chicken broth to a boil. Add bulgur, reduce heat to low, cover and simmer for 12-15 minutes until tender and liquid is absorbed.
  7. While bulgur cooks, prepare radishes: In a bowl, toss radishes with olive oil, honey, salt, and pepper. Spread on a baking sheet and roast in the oven alongside the meatballs for about 15 minutes, until tender and slightly caramelized.
  8. When bulgur is done, transfer to a large bowl. Add lemon zest, lemon juice, olive oil, mint, parsley, cucumber, green onions, salt, and pepper. Toss to combine.
  9. For meal prep, divide bulgur mixture among 4 containers. Top with 4 meatballs per container and a portion of roasted radishes.
