No breadcrumbs are needed for this meatball recipe – we’re just keeping it simple as can be! These Spinach and Feta Turkey Meatballs are easy, healthy, and delicious. They take just a handful of ingredients and are quick to whip together. They are delicious to use as a protein source for nourish bowls – it’s my favorite way to eat them!
Nutritional benefits of this recipe
- These meatballs are high-protein, filling, and nutrient-dense!
- Turkey is rich in protein, B-vitamins, choline, and tryptophan, which all help regulate our mood and energy.
- Spinach contains vitamin A, C, K, E, antioxidants, minerals such as iron, potassium, and more.
- Feta is a good source of calcium, protein, CLA, and more.
Ingredients
Turkey – I do NOT recommend using the ground turkey that’s in tubes (also known as “chub”) because I find it’s always so watery – use the ground turkey that’s sold in the tray packaging.
Shallot
Garlic cloves – use freshly minced garlic for the best flavor.
Spinach
Feta cheese
Salt
Method
- Preheat the oven to 350ºF and either grease a baking sheet or place parchment paper on it.
- In a large bowl, mix together all of the ingredients thoroughly. This is easiest to do by hand.
- Form the meatball mixture into balls and place on the baking sheet. You can make them uniform in size by using a cookie scoop for this. Then if needed, you can lightly oil your hands and roll them into balls if they’re a bit messy.
- Bake for 18-22 minutes until cooked through.
Modifications
- For extra delicious flavor, sauté the shallots until translucent / browned before adding to the meatball mixture. This creates a lot more depth to the flavor.
- Sub beef, lamb, or chicken in place of the turkey if desired.
- Use another cheese in place of the feta, such as parmesan, sharp cheddar, mozzarella, etc.
