  • Total Time: 25 minutes
  • Yield: 4 servings 1x

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 pound ground turkey
  • 1 cup fresh spinach, finely chopped
  • 1/2 cup breadcrumbs (use gluten-free if needed)
  • 1/4 cup grated Parmesan cheese
  • 1 large egg, lightly beaten
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 teaspoon Italian seasoning
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil

Instructions

  1. In a large bowl, combine ground turkey, chopped spinach, breadcrumbs, Parmesan cheese, egg, minced garlic, Italian seasoning, salt, and pepper. Mix thoroughly until well combined.
  2. Using your hands, roll the mixture into 1-inch meatballs and place on a plate or baking sheet lined with parchment paper.
  3. Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat and add the meatballs. Cook for about 8-10 minutes, turning occasionally, until browned and cooked through.
  4. Remove the meatballs from the skillet and serve hot with marinara sauce, pasta, or as appetizers.

Notes

  • Add red pepper flakes for extra flavor.
  • Substitute different cheeses like mozzarella or ricotta.
  • Bake meatballs at 375°F (190°C) for 20-25 minutes instead of frying.
  • Freeze cooked meatballs for easy meal options later.
