Today I share Turkey Spinach Meatballs at OAMM. Stop by and sat “Hi!”
* * * * *
My kids adore meatballs. Big ones, little ones, served on gluten free noodles, made into a sandwich, served on toothpicks. Trust me. Make meatballs and kids come running to the table! I love having meatballs in the freezer because it makes it easy to pull together a meal fast. These Gluten Free Dairy Free Turkey Spinach Meatballs are baked, not fried, and they have the addition of spinach and green onions for added nutrition and flavor.
The below recipe is slightly different than how it is posted at OAMM, but it is how I actually make it for my family. Enjoy!
