Spanakopita Chicken Meatballs With Spicy Cucumber Yogurt Sauce

• 2 10-ounce boxes frozen chopped spinach, defrosted
• 3/4 cup crumbled feta cheese I used a 4 oz container of feta
• 1 pound ground chicken
• 1 small onion, finely chopped
• 3 garlic cloves, finely chopped DIVIDED
• 1 tablespoon grill seasoning, such as McCormick's Montreal Steak Seasoning
• Extra virgin olive oil, for liberal drizzling I left this out and coated them with cooking spray
• 1 1/2 cups Greek-style plain yogurt
• 1/3 seedless cucumber, peeled and chopped
• 3 tablespoons chopped fresh dill I used dried dill
• 1/2 tablespoon ground cumin I omitted this
• 1/2 tablespoon ground coriander
• Juice of 1/2 lemon
• Salt

1. Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F.
2. Wring out the spinach completely dry. Separate the spinach as you add it to the mixing bowl. Add the feta, chicken, onion, two thirds of the chopped garlic, the grill seasoning and a liberal drizzle of olive oil to the bowl. Mix the meat with the veggies and feta and form 18 1 1/2-inch meatballs. Place the meatballs on a rimmed non-stick baking sheet and bake them for 10 to 12 minutes until they are golden and the juices run clear.
3. While the meatballs bake, place the yogurt, remaining chopped garlic, the cucumbers, dill, cumin, coriander, lemon juice and a little salt in a food processor and process until smooth. Adjust the seasonings and transfer sauce to a serving bowl. Serve the meatballs with a bowl of the sauce and toothpicks for dipping.
