Time 30m

Yield 4 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 15

1 (10 ounce) box frozen spinach, defrosted
2 lbs ground turkey
1 onion, finely chopped
3 garlic cloves, finely chopped
1 egg
1 3/4 cups milk
3/4 cup breadcrumbs
1/2 cup parmesan cheese, grated
salt and pepper
olive oil
2 tablespoons butter
2 tablespoons flour
1 cup chicken broth
10 ounces provolone cheese, shredded
1/2 teaspoon nutmeg

Steps:

  • Preheat the oven to 400.
  • Wring the defrosted spinach dry in a clean kitchen towel. Place the turkey in a large bowl and make a well in the center. Add the spinach, all but 3 tablespoons of the onions, all the garlic, the egg, about ΒΌ cup of the milk, the bread crumbs, Parmesan cheese, salt and pepper. Mix well.
  • Form into 12 large balls and drizzle with oil. Arrange on a cookie sheet and bake for 20 minutes. (If you are doing OAMC, allow to cool and label and freeze at this point).
  • While the meatballs are in the oven, heat a small sauce pot over medium heat. Add a drizzle of oil and the butter. When the butter is melted, add the reserved onions and cook for 2 minutes.
  • Whisk in the flour and cook for 1 minute, then whisk in the remaining milk and the chicken broth. Bring to a boil, and then stir in the shredded cheese. Season the sauce with salt, pepper and nutmeg; turn the heat to the lowest setting and stir until the cheese melts. Keep warm.
  • Place 3 meatballs on each dinner plate and top with sauce.

I'm not sure what I did wrong, but my meatballs turned out really dense. I think I'll try a different recipe next time.

The meatballs were a bit too salty for me. I think I'll use less salt next time.

I love that these meatballs are made with ground turkey. It makes them a healthier option, but they're still just as flavorful.

I was a bit skeptical about the combination of spinach and cheese, but I was pleasantly surprised. The flavors go really well together.
