turkey meatballs


I met up with a girlfriend recently and she mentioned these turkey meatballs she had recently made with quinoa and spinach. They sounded so delicious and hearty, plus a tray of meatballs would mean leftovers for days! Feeling inspired, I picked up everything I needed at the grocery store. I added in chopped dried cranberries for an extra tang and some grated parmesan for a salty richness. We enjoyed them fresh out of the oven with lemon ricotta spaghetti, but they were great for lunch the next day too.





How To Make: Turkey Meatballs
1 pkg lean ground turkey
large bunch of spinach, roughly chopped
1/2 cup of dried cranberries, roughly chopped
1/2 cup grated parmesan
1.5 cups of cooked quinoa
1/2 cup of breadcrumbs
For seasoning I used:
2 tbsp dijon mustard
1 tbsp chopped garlic
garlic salt
white pepper

1. Combine ingredients in large bowl, mixing thoroughly.
2. Scoop and roll into 2 inch balls.
3. Line a baking tray and bake at 350 degrees for 25 minutes.
4. Serve & Enjoy!
