These spinach, feta, and turkey meatballs are quick and easy to make, easy to freeze, and taste great when reheated. My son and I call these “Combine Nuggets.” Did you know that a combine is a giant tractor that harvests crops from the field? Well, I most certainly didn’t until my 3-year-old told me! Therefore, thanks to the hardworking combines we can put the green things in our nuggets.
Ingredients
- cooking spray
- 1 pound lean ground turkey
- 1 (10 ounce) package frozen chopped spinach, thawed and drained
- 1 (6 ounce) container crumbled feta cheese
- ½ teaspoon paprika
- ½ teaspoon onion powder
- salt and ground black pepper to taste
Directions
Step 1
Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Spray a 24-cup mini muffin tin with cooking spray.
Step 2
Mix together turkey, drained spinach, feta cheese, paprika, onion powder, salt, and pepper in a large bowl until well combined. Roll into 24 meatballs and place in the prepared muffin tin.
Step 3
Bake in the preheated oven until meatballs are cooked through, 20 to 25 minutes. An instant-read thermometer inserted into the center should read at least 165 degrees F (74 degrees C).
Cook?s Note
You can freeze leftovers in a resealable plastic bag. To reheat frozen meatballs, place into a greased baking dish, cover, and bake in a preheated 350 degree F (175 degree C) oven until warmed all the way through, about 20 minutes.
