Turkey Meatballs:

- Shape the mixture into 1-inch balls (you should have around 48 total).
- Preheat oven to 400 degrees F. Line a rimmed baking sheet with foil for easy cleanup. Coat a wire rack with nonstick cooking spray and set it on top of the prepared baking sheet.
- Arrange the meatballs on the rack, brush with the oil, and bake until browned with crispy, 15 to 20 minutes.
Sliders

- Place a cucumber slice on each pita; it should take up about half of the pita.
