Turkey Meatballs

Ingredients (makes 10-12 meatballs)

  • 1 lb ground turkey
  • 1/2 cup grated parmesan cheese
  • 2 tbsp pesto (plus more if you are going to put meatballs over pasta)
  • 1 cup spinach, choppes
  • 1 egg
  • 1/2 cup of your favorite marinara sauce
  • salt + pepper
  • garlic powder
  • red pepper flakes
  • Everything but the Bagel seasoning (from Trader Joe’s)

Recipe

  • Pre heat oven to 350 degrees
  • Combine the turkey, parmesan cheese, pesto, spinach, egg, garlic powder, salt + pepper, Everything but the Bagel seasoning, and red pepper flakes
  • Roll into equal size balls (should make 10-12) and set aside
  • In a cooking pan (preferably one that can go into the oven), heat olive oil over medium heat on stovetop, add meatballs and brown about 3 minutes on each side
  • Transfer pan into oven and cook for 18 minutes
  • Once the meatballs are cooked through, add marinara sauce on top of the meatballs and cook for another 1-2 minutes
  • Serving suggestions: Meatballs can be eaten as is, or on top of pasta (I like to add a little pesto to my pasta, so I have a pesto/marinara mix!), on top of zucchini noodles, or however you like!
