How To Make Turkey Spinach Meatballs

Easy Turkey Spinach Meatballs

I usually serve these baked meatballs as a main dish, but they also work great as an appetizer.  You can make them smaller in size and put a toothpick in each cooked meatball, making it into a perfect cocktail finger food!

These baked turkey spinach meatballs freeze perfectly.  As I wrote in my guide on how to freeze meatballs, I like to freeze meatballs cooked.  Just bake the meatballs as usual, then line a large plate with parchment paper, put the meatballs on a plate so they are not touching, put in a freezer and freeze for 1 hour.  Afterwards, put the frozen meatballs in a large ziploc bag and put back in a freezer.  When ready to eat, just defrost as many meatballs as you need – in a refrigerator overnight or in a microwave.  Enjoy!

  1. How many meatballs does this recipe typically make? 12 ?? Because those meatballs look golfball shaped, lol.

  2. Can this be made with 1)ground chicken 2) 93/7 lean turkey?
    Also, can I just shape the meatballs and put them in my Instant Pot with water and pasta sauce, for 10 mins? Without baking them? Like you did for another recipe on here.. thank you!
