Instructions
Creating Creamy Spinach Turkey Meatballs is as simple as these steps:
1. Preheat Oven: Set your oven to 375°F (190°C) to preheat.
2. Mix Ingredients: In a large bowl, combine the ground turkey, chopped spinach, breadcrumbs, Parmesan cheese, egg, minced garlic, onion powder, Italian seasoning, salt, and pepper. Mix until well combined.
3. Form Meatballs: Shape the mixture into meatballs, roughly 1-1.5 inches in diameter, and place them on a baking sheet.
4. Bake Meatballs: Bake the meatballs in the preheated oven for about 20 minutes or until they are cooked through and golden brown.
5. Prepare Sauce: While the meatballs bake, heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add chicken broth and bring to a simmer.
6. Add Cream: Stir in heavy cream into the skillet and let it simmer for about 5 minutes until slightly thickened.
7. Combine: Once the meatballs are done baking, carefully add them to the skillet with the creamy sauce, stirring to coat the meatballs evenly.
8. Garnish and Serve: Let everything simmer together for another 2–3 minutes. Garnish with fresh parsley before serving.
