In a large mixing bowl, add all the ingredients and mix with your hands until fully combined.
Measure out heaped tablespoons and roll using your hands until a ball begins to form (recipe will make approximately 27 meatballs).
Place rolled meatballs onto a parchment paper lined baking sheet.
Bake for approximately 20 minutes (or until a thermometer inserted into the middle of the meatballs reaches 165 F) , turning halfway.
Once meatballs are done, carefully remove them from the oven enjoy! (see above for serving suggestions)

To serve, add a base of grains to each bowl, top with Greek meatball, Mediterranean salad, sauce of choice and olive and pita if using sprinkle with additional feta and enjoy!
