Instructions

Making Creamy Spinach Turkey Meatballs is a straightforward process. Follow these steps for delicious results:

1. Preheat Oven: Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
2. Mix Ingredients: In a large bowl, combine the ground turkey, chopped spinach, breadcrumbs, Parmesan cheese, onion, garlic, egg, Italian seasoning, salt, and pepper. Mix until well combined.
3. Form Meatballs: Use your hands to shape the mixture into meatballs, about 1 to 1.5 inches in diameter. Place them on the prepared baking sheet.
4. Bake Meatballs: Bake the meatballs in the preheated oven for 20-25 minutes, or until they are cooked through and golden brown.
5. Prepare Sauce: While the meatballs are baking, heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add the heavy cream and chicken broth, stirring until well combined.
6. Add Cheese: Once the sauce begins to simmer, add mozzarella cheese, stirring until melted and the sauce thickens slightly.
7. Combine: Remove the meatballs from the oven and add them to the skillet with the creamy sauce. Gently toss to coat the meatballs in the sauce.
8. Simmer: Allow the meatballs to simmer in the sauce for an additional 5 minutes to absorb flavors.
