Turkey Meatballs with Spinach and Feta

Step 1

Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F.

Step 2

Toast the bread until just brown then transfer it to a bowl and add water to cover. Allow it to soak for about 5 minutes or until very tender. Discard the water and squeeze the bread very dry and crumble it a bit with your hands.

Step 3

In a skillet heat 1 tablespoon extra virgin olive oil. Add the spinach and cook briefly over medium heat until just wilted. Remove from the heat and let cool briefly.

Step 4

Make the meatball mixture. In a large mixing bowl, add the ground turkey, onions, garlic, crumbled feta, egg, parsley, and mint. Add the bread and wilted spinach. Season with a big pinch of kosher salt and black pepper. Mix well to combine.

Step 5

Form the mixture into balls (golf ball size) and arrange them on a large lightly oiled sheet pan.

Step 6

Bake in the heated oven for about 30 minutes or until fully cooked through.

Step 7

Transfer to the top rack and turn the broiler on for just a couple of minutes or until the tops are browned.

Step 8

Serve immediately with salad of your choice.
