Greek Spanakopita Chicken Meatballs
These Greek Spanakopita Chicken Meatballs are inspired by spanakopita, the Greek savory pie packed with spinach and feta! This recipe is simple, healthy and delicious!
Ingredients
- 1 lb ground chicken or ground turkey (about 450g)
- 2 large eggs
- 1/2 cup bread crumbs
- 1 cup spinach chopped
- 1/2 cup feta crumbled
- 1/2 onion shredded or finely chopped
- 1/2 lemon juiced
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 1/4 cup fresh parsley finely chopped
- 1 tablespoons fresh mint finely chopped
- 1 tablespoon fresh oregano finely chopped
- 1/2 teaspoon ground cumin
- salt and pepper
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 400F and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
- Add all of the ingredients in a large bowl and mix until well combined.
- To form the mixture into meatballs I like to use a 1 1/2 tablespoon cookie scoop to scoop out the mixture (about a golf ball size). To prevent sticking, lightly grease your hands with a bit of oil and roll the mixture in your palms to form the meatballs.
- Place the meatballs on the baking sheet and bake in the oven for approximately 25-30 minutes or until cooked through.
