Without fail, there’s at all times excitement at my home when meatballs are at the menu, but I wasn’t certain how the children might truly sense about those turkey meatballs because, well, spinach. But they beloved them and wolfed them up, spinach and all.

What makes them truly different is the addition of turkey sausage. Not basically does the sausage make the meatballs tender, however it also provides huge taste with out the want for a ton of different ingredients. To make life easy, I brown the meatballs beneath the broiler pretty than in a frying pan. That potential no stovetop splatters, and also you possibly can get the relaxation of dinner in a position whereas the meatballs cook.
