Description

Turkey Spinach Meatballs … Incredibly moist, with a great flavor profile. And they are wonderful to have on hand in the freezer, for quick and easy meals

Ingredients

  • 2 teaspoons Olive Oil
  • ¼  Small Onion, Chopped Fine
  • 1 clove Garlic, Chopped Fine
  • 10 ounces, weight Frozen Chopped Spinach (Thawed And Squeezed In Paper Towels To Remove Excess Moisture
  • 1 dash Wine Wine (Optional)
  • 1  Large Egg, Beaten
  • ½ cups Finely Grated Parmesan
  • ½ cups Dried Breadcrumbs (Store Bought Or Make Your Own From Left-over Bread)
  • 2 Tablespoons Chopped Fresh Flat-leaf Parsley
  • 1 teaspoon Fennel Seeds
  • 1 teaspoon Finely Grated Lemon Zest
  • 1 teaspoon Kosher Salt
  • 1-½ pound Ground Turkey, Lean

Preparation

Preheat oven to 400 F.

In a small saucepan over medium heat, sauté the chopped onion with the olive oil, until onion is beginning to soften. Add garlic and cook 30 seconds more. Add spinach and cook a minute or so more. At this point, for a bit of added flavor, it’s nice to add a small splash of wine and let the liquid reduce a minute or two more. Remove from heat. Let it cool

Add all of the ingredients (including the spinach mixture but minus the turkey) to your food processor and pulse two or three times until combined and minced.

In a large bowl, using your hands or a fork, gently mix the ingredients from the food processor with the ground turkey until just combined Cover and chill in the refrigerator for at least an hour

Using your hands, shape the meat mixture into your preferred size meatballs, and place the meatballs in individual, miniature muffin tin cups (you should have about 18).

Bake for 18-20 minutes or until golden and cooked through. (For an added bit of crispiness, they can be placed under the broiler for a few seconds at the end of the bake time.)
