INGREDIENTS:
Turkey Meatball:
1 lb. ground turkey
¼ cup finely diced red onion
2 garlic cloves, minced
1 teaspoon oregano
1 cup chopped fresh spinach
salt & pepper

½ cup plain Greek yogurt

salt to taste
½ cup thinly sliced red onion

1 cup diced cucumber

DIRECTIONS:
To a large bowl add, ground turkey, diced red onion, minced garlic, oregano, fresh spinach, salt, and pepper. Using your hands mix all the ingredients together until meat forms a ball and sticks together.
Then using your hands, form meat mixture into 1" balls. (you should be able to get about 12 meatballs).
Heat a large skillet to medium high heat. Add olive oil to the pan, and then add the meatballs. Cook each side for 3-4 minutes until they are browned on all sides. Remove from the pan and let rest.
In the meantime, to a small bowl add Greek yogurt, grated cucumber, lemon juice, dill, garlic powder, and salt to taste. Mix together until everything is combined.
Assemble the gyros: to a flatbread (heat them up so they are more pliable) add 3 meatballs, sliced red onion, tomato, and cucumber. Then top with Tzatziki sauce.
