Sun Dried Tomato and Spinach Turkey Meatballs

I came across a similar recipe to this and have made it enough times I have tweaked it to become my own. They are DELICIOUS. Fast. You could very easily double or quadruple this recipe and freeze it. They are healthy with the turkey, and pair easily with a marinara, alfredo, vodka, or red bell pepper sauce over pasta. Or however else you eat desire to eat meatballs.

You could use other ground meats, or eliminate the spinach if you desire.



Sun Dried Tomato and Spinach Turkey Meatballs

Ingredients:

1/4 cup plain breadcrumbs (I use panko)
1/2 cup grated or shredded parmesan/asiago/romano or any combo thereof.
1 egg
4 sun dried tomatoes in oil, patted dry and diced.
1 tbsp sun dried tomato oil
1/2 cup frozen spinach (maybe 1/3rd of a package? I eyeballed it, sorry) thawed, drained, and chopped
2 garlic cloves, minced
1 tbsp dried minced onions
1/2 tsp salt
1 tbsp milk
1 tbsp fresh chopped or 1 tsp dried basil and/or parsley, if desired
3/4 lb ground turkey

Preheat oven to 350

Set the turkey aside and mix all the other ingredients well. Mix the turkey in with your hands and form into approximately 20 walnut sized meatballs. Place on a baking dish and cook 25-28 minutes, turning halfway.
