This is a Rachel Ray recipe. I saw it on Facebook and thought I would give it a whirl. I'm so glad I did! It is wonderful and makes enough for multiple individual meals, or to feed 3-4 people. I'm going to make it again, using it as a filling in lettuce wraps, and I am going to make it into a burger with portobellas for my bun.

INGREDIENTS

• 1 tablespoon extra-virgin olive oil, plus some for liberal drizzling
• 1 small onion, finely chopped
• 4 cloves garlic, chopped, divided
• 2 boxes frozen chopped spinach, defrosted.
• 3/4 cup crumbled feta cheese
• 1 pound ground chicken
• 1 tablespoons grill seasoning (recommended: McCormick Montreal Seasoning)
• 1 1/2 cups Greek style plain yogurt
• 1/3 seedless cucumber, peeled and chopped
• 3 tablespoons fresh dill
• 1/2 lemon, juiced
• 1 1/2 teaspoons, 1/2 a palm full, cumin
• 1 1/2 teaspoons, 1/2 a palm full, coriander
• Salt

DIRECTIONS

Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F.

In a bowl combine onion and 3 cloves of garlic. Squeeze the water out of the spinach until completely dry. Separate the spinach as you add it to garlic and onion. Add feta, chicken and grill seasoning to the bowl and a liberal drizzle of extra-virgin olive oil. Mix the meat with veggies and feta and form 18 (1 1/2-inch) meatballs. Place the meatballs on a nonstick cookie sheet and bake 10 to 12 minutes until they are golden and juices run clear.

Place yogurt, garlic, cucumber, dill, lemon juice, cumin, coriander and a little salt in a food processor and process until smooth. Adjust seasonings and transfer to a serving bowl. Serve meatballs alongside sauce.

This looks like something I would love. Thanks for posting!

If you like Greek food you should like it.

Notably no bread, flour, crackers oatmeal or other bad stuff.

I am going to make this as soon as I get back from vacation!

Try it, you will like it ALOT. I'm going to the store tomorrow to buy the fixins to make it again. My mouth is watering just thinking about it. LOL

measuring using one's PALM is sort of odd though...

You don't have to measure that way. The normal measuring spoon size is also listed.

This looks wonderful.  I'm going to give it a try.

thanks for posting.
