Meatball Ingredients

  • 1 pound Ground Turkey
  • ½ cup Panko Crumbs
  • ½ cup Powdered Parmesan
  • 1 large Egg
  • 2 cloves Garlic pressed or pureed
  • ¼ cup Fresh Chives finely chopped

Sauce Ingredients

  • 1 tablespoon Olive Oil
  • 3 cloves Garlic minced
  • ½ large White Onion finely diced
  • cup Sundried Tomatoes drained
  • 1 teaspoon Salt
  • ½ cup Chicken Broth
  • 4 cups Baby Spinach loose
  • cups Heavy Cream

Instructions
 

Making the Meatballs

  • Preheat your oven to 350F with a rack in the middle position. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper and set aside. Fill a small bowl with water and set aside.
  • Place all of the meatball ingredients in a large bowl and mix until smooth.
  • To shape the meatballs, dip your fingers in the bowl of water and proceed with taking a piece of the meatball mixture. Make a 1-inch meatball and repeat until you have 24 meatballs, or you have used up the mixture.
  • Place the shaped meatballs on the lined baking tray. Bake them in the preheated oven for 16-18 minutes. You should have a minimum internal temperature of 165F. When ready, take out of the oven.

Making the Sauce

  • In a large non-stick skillet on medium heat, drizzle in your olive oil. Add in your prepared garlic and onion. Cook for 2 minutes.
  • Add in your sundried tomatoes and salt, and let sizzle for a couple minutes. Slowly pour the chicken broth into the pan to release all the flavors.
  • Add the spinach to the skillet and cook it down completely. Once cooked, add in the heavy cream and bring to a simmer. Cook for 5-10 minutes to reduce and thicken the sauce.
  • At this point your meatballs should be cooked. Add them into the sauce. Toss them around to coat evenly.
  • Serve on top of rice, mashed potatoes, or even your favorite pasta. Enjoy!
