Preparation
Step 1
1. Preheat oven to 400 degrees. In a large bowl, add all the ingredients for the meatballs, being sure to separate the spinach into small pieces as you add it. Add a liberal drizzle (2-3 Tb) of olive oil over the top, then mix it all together using your hands. Form the mixture into 18 - 1 1/2 inch meatballs and place them on a cookie sheet. Bake for 13-16 minutes until the juices run clear.
2. While the meatballs are cooking, mix together all the ingredients for the tzatziki sauce and serve on the side with the hot meatballs.
***For a freezer meal, follow the recipe up through forming the meatballs. Place the cookie sheet in the freezer until the raw meatballs are frozen. Toss them in a freezer bag and mark with the cooking directions. Thaw them on a cookie sheet before baking, so you don't end up with a one big meatball in your freezer bag :)
