Instructions
Creating Creamy Spinach Turkey Meatballs involves several straightforward steps:
1. Preheat Oven: Set your oven to 375°F (190°C) to preheat while you prepare the meatballs.
2. Mix Ingredients: In a large bowl, combine the ground turkey, chopped spinach, breadcrumbs, egg, Parmesan cheese, minced garlic, oregano, salt, and pepper. Mix gently until all ingredients are well incorporated.
3. Form Meatballs: Shape the mixture into meatballs, about 1-1.5 inches in diameter, and place them on a lined baking sheet.
4. Bake Meatballs: Place the baking sheet in the preheated oven and bake for about 20-25 minutes or until the meatballs are cooked through and golden brown on the outside.
5. Prepare the Sauce: While the meatballs are baking, heat olive oil in a skillet over medium heat. Add heavy cream and chicken broth to the skillet and stir to combine. Bring the mixture to a gentle simmer.
6. Combine and Thicken: Allow the sauce to thicken for about 5-minutes on low heat, stirring occasionally. You can adjust the thickness by adding more chicken broth if desired.
7. Add Meatballs to Sauce: Once the meatballs are done baking, add them to the skillet with the creamy sauce and toss gently to coat.
8. Garnish: Serve immediately, garnished with freshly chopped parsley for added flavor and color.
By following these simple steps, you’ll have a delicious, creamy dish ready to impress everyone at the table!
