EAT-YOUR-VEGGIES MEDITERRANEAN MEATBALLS



Eat-Your-Veggies Mediterranean Meatballs image

These meatballs have a secret -- they're packed with spinach. Veggie-shy kids (and adults) won't even notice since they are happily tucked into a warm pita with lettuce and tomato and drizzled with tangy dill yogurt sauce.

Time 45m

Yield 6 servings (half a sandwich per person)

Number Of Ingredients 15

Nonstick cooking spray, for coating the baking sheet
2 cups frozen spinach (from a 10-ounce package)
1 pound ground turkey (80 percent lean)
1/4 cup breadcrumbs
2 teaspoons ground cumin
2 cloves garlic, minced
1 medium carrot, grated
1 large egg
2 tablespoons fresh dill fronds, chopped
Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper
1 cup full-fat Greek yogurt
Juice of half a lemon
3 pitas with pockets, cut in half and warmed
2 cups shredded romaine lettuce
2 Roma tomatoes, sliced

Steps:

  • Preheat the oven to 450 degrees F. Line a rimmed baking sheet with parchment paper and coat with cooking spray.
  • Put the spinach in a large microwave-safe bowl and microwave according to the package instructions until cooked. Let cool slightly.
  • Add the turkey, breadcrumbs, cumin, garlic, carrot, egg, 1 tablespoon of the dill, 1/2 teaspoon salt and a few grinds of pepper. Mix with your hands until just combined. Scoop mounds of the meat mixture (about 2 tablespoons each) onto the prepared baking sheet. With damp hands, roll the mounds into balls and space them evenly apart on the baking sheet. Bake until cooked through, 12 to 14 minutes.
  • Meanwhile, stir together the yogurt, lemon juice and remaining dill in a small bowl. Season with salt and pepper.
  • Serve 3 meatballs in each pita half. Pack in shredded lettuce and sliced tomatoes. Drizzle with the yogurt sauce.

THE BEST VEGETARIAN MEATBALLS EVER!



The Best Vegetarian Meatballs Ever! image

Seriously. I've made these twice within the span of about 10 days. My omnivore bf LOVED these too. The fennel really gives them that authentic italian meatball flavor, so don't omit. Served these with a cranberry glaze on them (Recipe #107450), mashed sweet potatoes, and some kale. Parmesan cheese occasionally contains rennet, so omit if you're a strict vegetarian. Could even keep these warm in a crockpot/slowcooker with the cranberry glaze on top for a fun party/finger food.
