Ingredients

  • 1 pound ground turkey
  • 1 10 oz. frozen spinach thawed
  • 1 egg
  • 1 cup parmesan cheese divided
  • ½ cup onion diced
  • 1 clove garlic minced
  • ¼ cup bread crumbs
  • ½ teaspoon salt
  • ½ teaspoon pepper
  • ¼ teaspoon chili powder
  • 1 quart Mom's Sunday Gravy or your favorite Marinara Sauce

Instructions

  • Preheat broiler
  • Combine the above ingredients, mixing them well but being careful not to over-mix.
  • Using a small ice-cream scoop portion them out and shape them into balls and place on a pan sprayed with non-stick coating.
  • Broil for 10-12 minutes or until the meatballs are cooked thru. Keep an eye on them to avoid burning.
  • Remove from the oven and change the temperature to 350 degrees.
