Florentine Meatballs

recipe from Rachael Ray

Ingredients

1 box frozen spinach, defrosted in the microwave

1 1/3 lb ground turkey breast

1/2 of a medium onion, finely chopped

3 cloves garlic, chopped

1 large egg

1/4 c. milk

1/2 c. grated Parmesan cheese

3/4 c. bread crumbs

Olive oil

Directions

Preheat oven to 400 degrees.

Wring out defrosted spinach. Place turkey in a bowl and make a well in the middle of it. Add the spinach, onion, garlic, egg, milk, bread crumbs, Parmesan and salt & pepper to taste. Mix well and form into 12 large balls. Place on a non-stick cookie sheet and drizzle with olive oil. Cook for 20 minutes in the oven until cooked through.

I served them at meatball subs. Here's the sub with just the meatballs & a little tomato sauce:

And, here's the sub after I added some mozzarella cheese & more tomato sauce:

The Verdict
The recipe calls for 1 1/3 pounds of turkey because that's what normally comes in a package of ground turkey, so don't worry about the weird measurement. For us, this made way more than 12 meatballs - more like 20. But, they froze really well. We really enjoyed the subs, and we ate the leftovers from this batch with spaghetti and sauce and they were equally as good. It's a simple recipe and I love that it makes enough for 2 meals! I've since made them again and we have half a batch in the freezer right now.
