I made this the other night but used ground turkey and chicken. It was a hit at our table. I doubled the recipe since I was using a pound of turkey/chicken. The homemade Tzatziki sauce was good. If you are not a big garlic lover, you may want to use less garlic and i also used Greek yogurt.

These are very good! My family and I enjoyed these, my 2 year old loved the Tzatziki sauce with her "meat cupcakes" and I got some spinach into my kids without too much of a fight! :)
