Instructions

Creating Creamy Spinach Turkey Meatballs is a straightforward process. Just follow these steps:

  1. Preheat the Oven: Begin by preheating your oven to 400°F (200°C).
  2. Prepare the Meatball Mixture: In a large mixing bowl, combine ground turkey, chopped spinach, onion, garlic, egg, breadcrumbs, salt, pepper, and Italian seasoning.
  3. Mix Well: Use your hands to mix the ingredients until fully combined, ensuring an even distribution of all components.
  4. Form Meatballs: Shape the mixture into meatballs, about 1.5 inches in diameter. Place them on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper.
  5. Bake the Meatballs: Bake in the preheated oven for about 20 minutes or until cooked through and golden brown on the outside.
  6. Prepare the Cream Sauce: While the meatballs are baking, heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add the heavy cream and bring it to a gentle simmer.
  7. Add Cheese and Seasoning: Stir in the grated Parmesan cheese and red pepper flakes (if using), mixing until the cheese is melted and the sauce is creamy and smooth.
  8. Combine Meatballs with Sauce: Once the meatballs are done, transfer them into the skillet with the cream sauce. Stir gently to coat the meatballs thoroughly.
  9. Simmer: Allow the meatballs to simmer for 5-10 minutes in the sauce for flavors to meld.
  10. Garnish: Remove from heat and sprinkle fresh parsley on top before serving.

Following these steps will result in creamy, flavorful meatballs that you will be proud to serve!
