TZATZIKI SAUCE-- GREEK CUCUMBER/YOGURT SAUCE
This is the cool and creamy sauce that usually is served as a condiment on Greek Gyro sandwiches. The recipe calls for the thicker, Greek Yogurt, also called, "Greek Cheese". If you can't find this type of yogurt, you can use plain, regular yogurt from the grocery store. But in order to get the sauce to the desired thicker consistency, you need to suspend the yogurt in a cheesecloth for a couple of hours to drain some of the water off. If you don't mind it moderately runny, you can just make it as is and it is still delicious, just a little more messy.

Steps:
- Peel cucumbers and dice. Put them in a colander and sprinkle with the tablespoon of salt (draws water out). Cover with a plate and sit something heavy on top. Let sit for 30 minute Drain well and wipe dry with a paper towel.
- In food processor or blender, add cucumbers, garlic, lemon juice, dill and/or mint, and a few grinds of black pepper. Process until well blended, then stir into yogurt. Taste before adding any extra salt, then salt if needed. Place in refrigerator for at least two hours before serving so flavors can blend.
- This will keep for a few days in the refrigerator, but you will need to drain off any water and stir each time you use it.
- ** If you can't find the thicker Greek Yogurt Cheese, you can use regular, plain yogurt that is either full fat or low fat. To thicken, spoon yogurt into cheese cloth that has been quadrupled. Draw the corners of the cloth up and tie together. Suspend above a bowl for 2 hours so that water can drip out. The consistency of the yogurt should be like that of sour cream.
- You can skip this draining process, if you want, but you will have a moderately messier, runnier result.

GREEK TZATZIKI SAUCE
This is a delicious sauce that can be used in many Greek recipes. We like to use it when making gyros, or other Mediterranean recipes that are wrapped in pitas. It tastes just like the sauce we've had in restaurants such as "Hell's" in Tarpon Springs in Florida. It's a funny name, but the restaurant is known for having some of the best Greek food and Greek pastries in Florida.

Steps:
- Place yogurt in a coffee filter or piece of cheesecloth, and place in a strainer over a dish. Let drain for 2-4 hours in the refrigerator. If using Greek yogurt you do not need to drain it, as it is already a thick consistency.
- Meanwhile, put the chopped or grated cucumber in a tea towel and squeeze to remove liquid. Discard liquid. Sprinkle with 1 teaspoon salt and mix into the cucumber. Set aside 20 minutes. Rinse a little to wash out the extra salt, if you want to. Then squeeze again to express as much liquid as possible.
- Draining the yogurt and cucumber make for a thick and authentic consistency of tzatziki sauce.
- Combine the drained yogurt and cucumber, sour cream, pinch of salt, olive oil, red wine vinegar, mint and garlic. Note: we love garlic, so I tried adding more once. It made for an overpowering and almost bitter taste, so now I stick to only 1 clove.
- Place sauce in the refrigerator for 1 hour or more to meld flavors. Stir before serving. The sauce can be stored in the refrigerator for up to one week. Makes 1 1/4 cups.

Steps:
- For the Tzatziki
- Place the grated cucumber in the center of a clean kitchen towel. Roll up the towel and squeeze out the excess water from the cucumber. Place the cucumber in a medium bowl. Add the yogurt, garlic, salt, pepper and lemon juice. Stir to combine. Cover and refrigerate until ready to serve. This can be made several days in advance.
- For the Meatballs
- Preheat the oven to 400°F. Line a baking sheet with foil and lightly grease the foil with cooking spray. In a medium bowl, stir together the bread crumbs and milk and let the mixture sit for a few minutes to let the crumbs soften. Add the parsley, egg, oregano, garlic, salt, and pepper. Stir to combine. Add the turkey and mix until well combined.
- Portion the meatballs into tablespoon-sized balls and place ½-inch apart on the prepared baking sheet. Bake for 15 minutes until the meatballs are no longer pink in the center.
- To Serve
- Slice the pita breads in half. Dollop a spoonful of tzatziki sauce on the bottom of each pita. Add a layer of tomatoes and greens. Stuff meatballs inside and serve.
TRADITIONAL GREEK CHICKEN GYRO WITH TZATZIKI SAUCE
Traditional Greek gyro's are hard to come by. This is a hearty meal that only the largest of appetites should try! You can find thin sliced chicken in most supermarkets now, however if you can't find it you can also pound chicken tenders. Also, depending on your skillet you may adjust the amount of oil needed to fry the fries. Finally, if you can't find greek yogurt any plain yogurt will do even though it is not traditional you will still get the same taste!

Steps:
- In a small bowl combine Greek yogurt, garlic, cumin, sugar, cucumber, and salt and pepper. Stir and refrigerate until ready to use.
- Pound chicken as thin as you can get it. Even if you have purchased the thin sliced chicken you still want to get it as thin as possible. Place chicken in a bowl and combine with vinegar, oregano, paprika, and salt and pepper. Cover and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes.
- In the mean time, peel you potato and cut into 1/4 inch strips. Place cut potato in cold water for at least 15 minutes. Blanching the potatoes before frying will ensure a crispier fry.
- In a large skillet heat vegetable oil. Personally, I regulate the temperature by instinct. I let the oil heat up and test it with a drop of water; if the water shoots back I know the oil is hot enough. If you aren't comfortable with this method you want the oil to stay around 360 degrees. When the oil is hot enough drop fries inches Depending on the thickness of your fry and your temperature control your fries will take anywhere from 10-20 minutes. You want your fries to have a deep golden brown. Keep a careful eye on them and flip if necessary.
- Heat a medium DRY skillet. No oil is necessary to sauté the chicken. Begin to sauté chicken. It should only take about 1 minute on each side depending upon how thinly you pounded it. Let chicken rest under tin foil until you are ready to assemble.
- You can either toast your pita or microwave it. I prefer to microwave it so it is more pliable (only about 20 seconds). Place 2 heaping tablespoons of the tzatziki sauce and spread over pita. Then place half of the chicken, place mostly in the center, making sure that you are able to fold in the sides. Traditionally, fries are to be placed on top of chicken WITHOUT drying off the oil; however this is entirely up to you. Place fries on top of chicken and top with tomatoes, lettuce, and red onions. Serve with extra tzatziki sauce on the side for dipping.

Steps:
- 1. Make the tzatzki sauce enough ahead to allow flavors to marry. Combine the yogurt, cucumbers, garlic. lemon juice, salt, mint and hot sauce. Cover and chill.
- 2. Cut the chicken into 6 strips, the long way.
- 3. Put the chicken in a zip lock bag and add the olive oil, lemon juice, garlic, and salt and pepper.
- 4. Rotate bag a few times and refrigerate at least 1 hour, longer is better.
- 5. Make a pocket in each piece of chicken by slicing the side and opening up the chicken like a book.
- 6. How much you want to stuff is to your judgement, I put in about a teaspoon each of artichokes, olives and feta.
- 7. Close the chicken up and season with oregano, and salt and pepper.
- 8. Line a cookie sheet with foil (no cleanup) and spray with non stick spray.
- 9. Melt the butter, and open up the Phyllo. Cover the phyllo with plastic wrap and then a damp towel, removing the sheets one by one.
- 10. Brush melted butter on the first sheet, from the middle out to the edges, repeat until you have 6 sheets.
- 11. Cut the sheets crosswise wide enough to cover your filling, maybe about 4 inches.
- 12. Place a piece of chicken on the dough, season with salt, pepper and oregano, wrap it around the chicken, and set on the prepared cookie sheet. Repeat for the rest of the chicken pieces and the phyllo.
- 13. Bake in a preheated 425° for 15 minutes, then turn oven down to 400° if it looks like the dough is cooking too fast.
- 14. Bake for 30 to 35 minutes, or until internal temp is 180° Serve with tzatziki sauce.

TZATZIKI (GREEK YOGURT AND CUCUMBER SAUCE)
I use this sauce on my Greek Burgers, Kabobs and Gryos. The trick to a good Tzatziki is thick yogurt. I use a good Greek Yogurt when I am not using my own homemade. If I am using plain yogurt I drain it in a small colander lined with a coffee filter for an hour while the cucumbers are draining after being salted.

Steps:
- 1. If you don't have Greek yogurt, strain plain yogurt as described above. Peel cucumbers, then cut in half lengthwise and take a small spoon and scrape out seeds. Discard seeds. (If you use the small seedless or European cucumbers with few seeds, you can skip this step.) Slice cucumbers, then put in a colander, sprinkle on 1 T salt, and let stand for 30 minutes to draw out water. Drain well and wipe dry with paper towel.
- 2. In food processor with steel blade, add cucumbers, garlic, lemon juice, dill, and a few grinds of black pepper. Add olive oil. Process until well blended, then stir this mixture into the yogurt. Taste before adding any extra salt, then salt if needed. Place in refrigerator for at least two hours before serving so flavors can blend. (This resting time is very important.)
- 3. Tzatziki will keep for a few days or more in the refrigerator, but you will need to drain off any water and stir each time you use it.

GREEK CHICKEN PITAS WITH TZATZIKI SAUCE RECIPE
Steps:
- Notes for the Cook: Make ahead. You can make the Tzatziki Sauce and the chicken the day before if you like. I usually put it all together in the morning or the night before and then just cook up the chicken when I am ready to serve it. It's also great for a reheat so you can make the chicken ahead of time and reheat it to serve. If you have a big crowd just double or triple the recipe and warm the pitas on a cookie sheet in the oven. It is also great served with a Greek salad. You can even put the chicken on skewers and grill it and serve it over a creek salad with the sauce and pitas on the side.
