Spinach Feta Baked Turkey Meatballs Recipe

Ingredients
  

  • Ingredients:
  • - 1-1.5 pounds ground turkey
  • - 5 ounces baby spinach or 4 ounces frozen chopped spinach
  • - 1/2 cup crumbled feta cheese or 2 ounces in some variations
  • - 1/2 cup breadcrumbs regular or gluten-free
  • - 1 large egg
  • - Garlic to taste

Instructions
 

  • Cooking Instructions:
  • Preheat your oven to 375 degrees Fahrenheit. If using a baking sheet, consider lining it with parchment paper or aluminum foil for easy cleanup.
  • In a skillet, wilt the spinach over medium heat with a little garlic until fully cooked. If using frozen spinach, verify it's thawed and drained well.
  • In a large mixing bowl, combine the ground turkey, wilted spinach, crumbled feta cheese, breadcrumbs, and egg. Mix gently until all ingredients are well incorporated, being careful not to overmix. Ground turkey is typically a healthier option compared to ground beef.
  • Form the mixture into meatballs, using about 2 tablespoons of the mixture for each meatball. Place the meatballs on a wire rack set over a baking sheet to allow for even cooking and to prevent sogginess.
  • Bake in the preheated oven for 20-25 minutes, or until the internal temperature reaches 165 degrees Fahrenheit.
  • For best results, let the meatballs rest for a few minutes after removing them from the oven.
  • They can be served with a variety of sides, such as pasta, zucchini noodles, or brown rice.
  • Remember, these meatballs are versatile and can be enjoyed as an appetizer or a main dish.
  • If you're looking for a gluten-free option, simply substitute regular breadcrumbs with gluten-free ones.
  • Enjoy your delicious Spinach Feta Baked Turkey Meatballs!
