Ingredients

The following ingredients have 12 Servings
  • 1 pound ground turkey (light or dark meat)
  • 1 cup frozen spinach (defrosted, drained, squeezed to remove excess water)
  • 1/2 small onion, finely minced or grated
  • 1 egg
  • 1-1/2 teaspoon onion powder
  • 1-1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 1 teaspoon Italian seasoning
  • 1 teaspoon sea salt
  • 1/2 teaspoon ground black pepper
  • 1/2 teaspoon red pepper flakes
  • 1/2 teaspoon dried basil

Instruction

  • Preheat oven to 400ºF and lightly oil a baking sheet.
  • Add all ingredients to a large bowl and mix together until fully combined.
  • Scoop out about 1/4 cup of meat using a scooper or your hands, and roll into meatballs and place on the baking sheet. If the mixture is tricky to work with you can refrigerate it for about 10 minutes and use lightly wet hands to form the meat into balls.
  • Bake in the preheated oven for 15-18 minutes, or until the turkey registers an internal temperature of 165ºF. If desired, you can broil on high for about 2-3 minutes to give the meatballs a browned exterior.
  • Serve with your favorite marinara sauce and serve with spaghetti squash, pasta or choice of side.
