Turkey and Spinach Meatballs

Turkey and Spinach Meatballs
Recipe from Aggie's Kitchen

1.25 lb of lean ground turkey (I usually use Jenni-O)
2 tsp garlic powder
salt and fresh ground pepper, to taste
1 1/2 cups chopped fresh spinach leaves
1 small onion, grated
1 egg
1/4 cup bread crumbs
1/4 cup Parmesan cheese
splash milk (I use non fat)
non stick spray

In large bowl, mix together onion, egg, bread crumbs, Parmesan and milk. Mix until it turns into a loose paste. Add in ground turkey, chopped spinach, garlic powder and salt and pepper. Gently combine all ingredients. Roll meat mixture into small meatballs, about 1-2 inches round. Place on lightly greased cookie sheet. Before placing in oven, spray each meatball with non stick spray.

Cook for about 20-25 minutes, until browned, in 375 degree oven.

To serve with tomato sauce, drop meatballs in sauce pan with tomato sauce and heat through. Freeze your extras for another meal!
