BAKED SPINACH, FETA, AND TURKEY MEATBALLS
These spinach, feta, and turkey meatballs are quick and easy to make, easy to freeze, and taste great when reheated. My son and I call these "Combine Nuggets." Did you know that a combine is a giant tractor that harvests crops from the field? Well, I most certainly didn't until my 3-year-old told me! Therefore, thanks to the hardworking combines we can put the green things in our nuggets.

BAKED TURKEY & SPINACH MEATBALLS
Steps:
- Preheat oven to 375 degrees. Place all ingredients in a large bowl.
- Mix ingredients with a fork until the turkey mixture is well mixed.
- Place aluminum foil over a baking sheet. Lather olive oil on the foil.
- Create meatballs, about an 1/8 cup each, to make 30 meatballs, and place on foil.
- Brush olive oil on top of the meatball. Place tray in oven about 20 -23 minutes.
- Let rest about 5 minutes before taking meatball off the foil.
Tips:
- Choose the right turkey: Use ground turkey breast for a leaner meatball, or ground turkey thigh for a more flavorful one.
- Use fresh spinach: Fresh spinach will give your meatballs a brighter green color and more nutrients.
- Don't overmix the meatball mixture: Overmixing will make the meatballs tough.
- Cook the meatballs thoroughly: Turkey meatballs should be cooked to an internal temperature of 165 degrees Fahrenheit.
- Serve the meatballs with your favorite sauce: Marinara sauce, Alfredo sauce, or even just a simple lemon-herb sauce would all be great options.
Conclusion:
Baked turkey spinach meatballs are a delicious and healthy way to enjoy turkey. They're perfect for a weeknight meal, a party appetizer, or even a game day snack. They're also a great way to get your kids to eat their vegetables!
