Peel and dice the onion. Peel the carrots and wash the zucchini, then grate both into fine sticks. Cut the feta cheese into small cubes (real sheep’s cheese is best, but other types will also work, including reduced-fat cheese). Place everything in a bowl and add the remaining ingredients. Knead thoroughly by hand until you get a smooth mixture. Shape into meatballs and fry in batches in a little hot oil on both sides. Makes about 12 pieces. Serve with a crisp, colorful salad. Melting the feta cheese makes the meatballs nice and light and creamy. They taste delicious cold too! Tip: You don’t have to use ground turkey, of course, but I think it goes a little better with them.
