We make our turkey meatballs with spinach to ensure they turn out tender, juicy and moist. They freeze beautifully, so don’t be afraid to make a double (or triple) batch.
Ingredients
Instructions
Preheat the oven to 400°F. In a bowl, combine the spinach, egg, bread crumbs, onion and seasoned salt.
Add the turkey to the spinach mixture. Mix lightly but thoroughly. Editor’s Tip: Be careful not to overdo it here. Overmixing the meat can lead to tough meatballs, so gently work the mix until it’s just combined.
Grease an oven-safe rack and place it in a shallow baking pan. Shape the meatball mixture into 2-inch balls, and place them on the rack. There should be enough mixture to create 12 turkey meatballs. Editor’s Tip: Use a cookie scoop to guarantee evenly sized meatballs.
Bake, uncovered, for 20 minutes or until the meat is no longer pink. Drain meatballs on paper towels. If desired, serve with pasta. Editor’s Tip: What's the best way to know when meatballs are finished cooking? A meat thermometer! Turkey meatballs should reach an internal temperature of 165°.
