ingredients
1 cup fresh breadcrumbs
2 tablespoons finely grated onion
1 pound ground turkey
1 package (10 ounce size) frozen chopped spinach, thawed and well drained
1 teaspoon salt
1/4 teaspoon black pepper
1 large egg, beaten
3 medium carrots, peeled and thinly sliced
1/4 pound sliced fresh mushrooms
1 jar (15 ounce size) meatless spaghetti sauce
1/2 cup water
cooked spaghetti or rice
directions
Preheat oven to 400 degrees F. Grease a 9x13-inch baking dish.
Combine the breadcrumbs, onion, turkey, spinach, salt, black pepper, and egg in a large bowl and mix until just combined. Do not overwork the mixture.
Shape the mixture into 1-inch size meatballs and place in the baking dish. Bake at 400 degrees for 25 minutes or until the meatballs are lightly browned and cooked through.
While the meatballs are baking, combine the carrots, mushrooms, spaghetti sauce, and water over medium-high heat. Bring to a boil and then reduce the heat to low. Cover and let simmer for 20 minutes.
When the meatballs are cooked, add them to the sauce and simmer, covered, for 10 more minutes or until the vegetables are tender.
Serve the meatballs and sauce immediately over cooked spaghetti (or other pasta) or rice.

Keeping a can of frozen orange juice concentrate in the freezer means you can make more than just orange juice. Try it in a variety of orange-flavored recipes.
It may look like a sad little package shoved in the back of your freezer, but frozen spinach actually has a lot of culinary uses (and some may surprise you).
