On one of those beautiful pre-spring days I wanted to put something together for dinner that was filling but lighter. This hit the spot. These Greek meatball wraps were warm, cool, crispy, meaty, and crunchy. I was really happy with these and will definitely make these again.
Ingredients:
16 oz ground chicken
1 tsp ground garlic
1 ½ tsp dried oregano
½ tsp cinnamon
1 egg
½ cup breadcrumbs
¼ cup oatmeal
1 shallot, chopped
Directions:
Mix meatball mix together and let sit for 5 minutes before baking.
Preheat oven to 375 degrees.
Roll into balls and bake for 30 minutes.
I use a cooling rack ontop of a baking sheet. It helps keep the meatballs crispy and not soggy from the grease (there’s not much grease since I used ground chicken rather than beef).
I served them on wheat naan wraps with tzatziki, veggies, hummus, and feta. Check out whose nose was a bit too close for comfort!
These were really good. The meatballs were crispy on the outside and juicy on the inside. I don’t fry my meatballs since a) I hate frying for the mess & the oil and b) it’s much easier and healthier in the oven.
I liked the wraps. The naan was perfect. Since it’s more pricy, leftovers were in wheat pitas. The pitas worked fine. I liked how doughy the naan was.
Those meatballs look so delicious and healthy. I always keep Trader Joe’s frozen turkey meatballs in my freezer, but I should probably start making my own healthy meatballs!
Oooh, yum yum yum! These look so delicious! And perfect for this warmer weather we’re having!
once again, a meal i would have loved to join you for!
