Ingredients

– 1 pound ground turkey
– 2 cups fresh spinach, chopped
– 1/2 cup breadcrumbs
– 1/4 cup grated Parmesan cheese
– 1/4 cup chopped onion
– 2 cloves garlic, minced
– 1 egg
– 1 teaspoon Italian seasoning
– Salt and pepper to taste
– 1/2 cup crème fraîche or sour cream
– 1 cup marinara sauce (for serving)
– Olive oil (for frying)


Instructions

Follow these simple steps to create your Creamy Spinach Turkey Meatballs:

1. Preheat Oven: Start by preheating your oven to 375°F (190°C).
2. Sauté Onions and Spinach: In a skillet, heat a drizzle of olive oil over medium heat. Add the chopped onion and sauté until it becomes translucent. Stir in the chopped spinach and cook until wilted. Set aside to cool slightly.
3. Combine Ingredients: In a large mixing bowl, combine the ground turkey, sautéed spinach and onion mixture, breadcrumbs, grated Parmesan, minced garlic, egg, Italian seasoning, salt, and pepper.
4. Form Meatballs: Mix the ingredients with your hands or a spoon until fully combined. Form the mixture into meatballs, about 1 inch in size.
5. Fry Meatballs: In a large skillet, heat more olive oil over medium-high heat. Add the meatballs in batches, frying until browned on all sides. Aim for about 5-7 minutes.
6. Bake: Once browned, place the meatballs on a baking sheet and transfer them to the preheated oven. Bake for an additional 10-15 minutes or until cooked through.
7. Prepare Sauce: While the meatballs are cooking, prepare the creamy sauce. In a small bowl, mix the crème fraîche with a pinch of salt and pepper for taste.
8. Serve: Warm the marinara sauce in a saucepan. Serve the meatballs topped with warm marinara sauce and a drizzle of the creamy sauce.

With these steps, you’re guaranteed to whip up a batch of incredible meatballs that can charm anyone at the dinner table!
