Weeknight Turkey Meatball Recipe
Ingredients: (makes about 12 meatballs)
- 1 lb ground turkey (I like to get this from the butcher and do 1/2 lb ground turkey thigh and 1/2 lb ground turkey breast)
- 1/2 cup grated parmesan cheese
- 2 tbsp of your favorite pesto
- 1 cup of baby spinach, chopped
- 1 egg
- garlic powder
- oregano
- salt + pepper
- red pepper flakes (optional)
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 350 degrees
- Combine the ground turkey, 1/2 cup grated parmesan cheese, 2 tbsp of your favorite pesto, 1 cup of baby spinach chopped, 1 egg, a couple dashes of garlic powder, oregano, salt + pepper
- Roll into equal size balls and set aside
- In a medium saute pan, heat extra virgin olive oil over medium heat. Add meatballs and brown on both sides (about 3 mins each side)
- Transfer to a baking tray lined in aluminum foil. Bake for 18-20 minutes until cooked through
- Serve however you’d like!
Ideas on how to serve
We are limiting our carb intake lately so I sautéed some mushrooms and topped with our favorite pasta sauce (we love Rao’s!). We also love these over quinoa, roasted tomatoes and basil, over spaghetti, tucked into a pita with tomato sauce and mozzarella or just alone from the refrigerator. Ha! They are so so good. I swear pesto is a GAME CHANGER and I prefer meatballs without the bread crumbs because I think it keeps them more moist.
