Meatballs are made with ground turkey, spinach, and onion and simmered in a garden-style spaghetti sauce. Serve with spaghetti or rice.
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
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.
Pumpkins aren't just for pies or Halloween decorations. These large, orange gourds - while naturally sweet - also work well in savory dishes. They pair well with poultry and pork (and especially bacon) and their creamy-when-cooked texture blends easily into soups.
This Italian cheese is so versatile that it can be used in both sweet and savory recipes from cheesecakes to lasagnas.
A can of cream of mushroom soup can be a real dinner saver. It works great in casseroles and can turn into a sauce or gravy in a pinch.
