Turkey Spinach Meatballs

I'm always looking for a healthier, lighter meatball recipe. As long as you add enough liquid to the turkey meatballs, they will always come out moist and delicious!

The spinach added an nice flavor and helped boost up the nutritional value.

You can add the turkey balls to some whole wheat pasta or brown rice or you can enjoy they on their own.



Ingredients:
1 heaping cup of spinach
1 cup shredded Parmesan
1 tsp dried basil
1 tsp dried oregano
1/2 tsp garlic salt
1 tsp kosher salt
1/4 tsp black pepper
1/4 cup whole wheat breadcrumbs or whole wheat panko
1/4 cup olive oil
3 eggs
1 package ground turkey


Preheat oven to 375.
Line a baking sheet with aluminum foil.

Finely chop the spinach.

In a large bowl, mix together all the ingredients except the turkey.

Add the turkey and mix together.

Form into meatballs on the lined tray. (It helps to wet your hands while rolling, the meat won't stick to you)

Bake for 20 minutes.

My turkey meatballs flattened a little bit and were more like turkey meat-flats, but they still tasted amazing.
