Ingredients
16 oz Jennie-O Lean Ground Turkey 1 large Egg, fresh, whole, raw .25 cup Milk 3 cup Spinach, fresh .5 medium (2-1/2" dia) Onions, raw .16 cup Parmesan Cheese, grated 0.5 cup Progresso Bread Crumbs - Italian Style 2 tbsp Olive Oil 2 tsp Garlic Basil, to taste
-Preheat oven to 375.
-Heat olive oil in a skillet over medium heat. Add the onion and sauté until it's beginning to become soft and translucent, about 5-6 minutes. Add the garlic and cook for another minute or so. Add the spinach. Cook and stir until it begins to wilt, about 2-3 more minutes. Pour the veggies into a large bowl.
-To the bowl, add the breadcrumbs, egg, milk, cheese, and spices. If you don't keep milk on hand like me, canned evaporated milk will work just fine. I also used gluten free Italian breadcrumbs which worked wonderfully. Mix well until combined.
-Add your ground turkey and gently mix until combined.
-Roll the mixture into round balls and place on a pan lined with foil and lightly sprayed with cooking spray.
-Cook at 375 for about 18 minutes or so, then broil for 2-3 minutes to get them slightly browned.
I serve with steamed zucchini and sauce and want to lick my plate clean!
Serving Size: makes 15 or 16 3 inch meatballs
