These meatballs are simple to make, and freeze really well. I found this recipe online and made some modifications (the original source of the recipe has since disappeared). Note: I usually make these with GoLean ground beef substitute Ingredients:
1 lb ground turkey |
1 (10 ounce) box frozen chopped spinach, thawed and drained |
1/2 cup parmesan cheese or 1/2 cup romano cheese |
4 ounces mozzarella cheese, grated |
1 cup bran flakes, crushed |
1/4 cup egg substitute or 1 egg |
1/4 cup dried onion flakes |
3 garlic cloves, minced |
1 teaspoon italian seasoning |
1/2 teaspoon salt |
1/8 teaspoon black pepper |
Directions:
1. Mix all ingredients together thoroughly and shape into 30 balls.
2. Spray a skillet with nonstick spray and fry balls just until browned, about 2-3 minutes.
3. Heat oven to 350 degrees. Put balls onto broiler pan (or pan with wire rack) sprayed with non-stick spray, and bake for 30 minutes.
4. Store in freezer. To thaw, put a few on a plate and microwave for about 30 seconds.
