Instructions

Mix the base
Thaw the spinach and squeeze out as much water as you can - this matters, extra moisture = mushy meatballs. In a bowl, combine the spinach, egg, bread crumbs, grated onion, and seasoned salt.

Add the turkey
Add the ground turkey and mix lightly but thoroughly - don't overwork it or the meatballs turn tough. Shape into twelve 2-inch balls and place on a greased rack set in a shallow baking pan.

Bake
Bake uncovered at 400°F for 20 minutes, or until no longer pink and the internal temp hits 165°F. Drain on paper towels before serving.

Notes & Tips
27g protein per serving (3 meatballs) and only 234 calories - that's an insane protein-to-calorie ratio for something that tastes this good. The spinach keeps them moist so you don't end up with dry turkey hockey pucks. Throw these over rice, in a wrap, or just eat them straight off the pan as a snack. They freeze great too, so double the batch and meal-prep your whole week in one go.
