Instructions
Creating Creamy Spinach Turkey Meatballs is simple and straightforward. Follow these steps to whip up this delicious dish:
1. Preheat Your Oven: Start by preheating your oven to 400°F (200°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
2. Combine Ingredients: In a large bowl, mix the ground turkey, chopped spinach, breadcrumbs, egg, garlic powder, onion powder, salt, and black pepper until well combined.
3. Form Meatballs: Roll the mixture into meatballs, about 1.5 inches in diameter, and place them on the prepared baking sheet.
4. Bake Meatballs: Bake the meatballs in the preheated oven for about 20 minutes, or until cooked through and golden brown.
5. Prepare the Sauce: While the meatballs are baking, heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat.
6. Add Cream: Once the oil is hot, pour in the heavy cream and stir for a minute. Add grated Parmesan cheese to the cream, mixing until it melts and forms a creamy sauce.
7. Combine Meatballs and Sauce: Once the meatballs are done, carefully add them to the skillet with the creamy sauce and stir to coat the meatballs evenly.
