Ingredients

– 1 pound ground turkey
– 1 cup fresh spinach, finely chopped
– ½ cup breadcrumbs (preferably whole wheat)
– 1 large egg
– 1 clove garlic, minced
– ½ teaspoon onion powder
– ½ teaspoon salt
– ¼ teaspoon black pepper
– 1 tablespoon olive oil (for cooking)
– 1 cup heavy cream
– ½ cup grated Parmesan cheese
– 1 teaspoon Italian seasoning
– Fresh parsley, for garnish (optional)

Instructions

Creating the Creamy Spinach Turkey Meatballs is straightforward. Follow these easy steps to achieve outstanding results:

1. Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
2. Mix Ingredients: In a large bowl, combine ground turkey, chopped spinach, breadcrumbs, egg, minced garlic, onion powder, salt, and pepper. Mix until well combined.
3. Shape Meatballs: Form the mixture into meatballs about 1 inch in diameter and place them on the prepared baking sheet.
4. Bake: Bake the meatballs in the preheated oven for about 20 minutes, or until they are cooked through and have a golden exterior.
5. Prepare the Creamy Sauce: In a large skillet, heat olive oil over medium heat. Pour in the heavy cream and bring to a gentle simmer.
6. Add Seasoning: Stir in the grated Parmesan cheese and Italian seasoning, allowing the sauce to thicken for about 2-3 minutes.
7. Combine: Add the baked meatballs to the creamy sauce, gently turning them to coat fully.
8. Simmer: Cook for an additional 5 minutes so the meatballs absorb the flavors of the sauce.
9. Garnish: Remove from heat and garnish with fresh parsley if desired.

Follow these steps closely, and you’ll have a dish that is not only incredible but also healthy and satisfying.
