Ingredients

For the Meatballs:
– 1 lb ground turkey
– 1 cup fresh spinach, chopped
– 1/2 cup breadcrumbs
– 1/4 cup grated Parmesan cheese
– 1/4 cup finely chopped onion
– 2 cloves garlic, minced
– 1 large egg
– 1 teaspoon salt
– 1/2 teaspoon black pepper
– 1 teaspoon Italian seasoning

For the Creamy Sauce:
– 1 cup heavy cream
– 1/2 cup chicken broth
– 1/2 cup grated mozzarella cheese
– 1 tablespoon olive oil
– 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
– Salt and pepper to taste


Instructions

Follow these steps to create your Creamy Spinach Turkey Meatballs effortlessly:

1. Preheat the Oven: Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper for easier cleanup.
2. Mix the Meatball Ingredients: In a large bowl, combine ground turkey, chopped spinach, breadcrumbs, Parmesan cheese, chopped onion, minced garlic, egg, salt, pepper, and Italian seasoning. Mix until well combined.
3. Shape the Meatballs: Form the mixture into meatballs about 1-2 inches in diameter and place them on the prepared baking sheet.
4. Bake the Meatballs: Place the baking sheet in the preheated oven and bake the meatballs for 25-30 minutes, or until they are cooked through and lightly browned.
5. Prepare the Creamy Sauce: While the meatballs are baking, heat olive oil in a saucepan over medium heat. Add heavy cream, chicken broth, garlic powder, and season with salt and pepper. Stir the mixture while bringing it to a simmer.
6. Add Cheese: Once the sauce is simmering, add grated mozzarella cheese and stir until melted and well combined.
7. Combine Meatballs and Sauce: Once the meatballs are cooked, remove them from the oven. Add the meatballs to the creamy sauce and gently mix until they are well coated.
8. Simmer for Flavor: Allow the meatballs to simmer in the sauce for about 5 minutes to absorb the flavors.
9. Garnish: Optional – sprinkle extra Parmesan cheese or fresh herbs on top before serving.
