Easy Turkey Pesto Meatballs Recipe

Ingredients

• cooking spray
• 1 tablespoon olive oil
• 1 onion, diced
• 1 clove garlic, minced
• 1 cup frozen spinach
• 1 pound lean ground turkey
• 0.33 cup pesto
• 2 egg whites
• 1.5 (1 ounce) packets plain instant oatmeal
• 0.25 cup grated Parmesan cheese
• salt and ground black pepper to taste

Instructions

1. Preheat your oven to 375 degrees F (190 degrees C). Lightly grease a large baking sheet with cooking spray.
2. Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add the chopped onion and minced garlic; cook and stir until softened and lightly browned, approximately 5 minutes. Add fresh spinach; cook and stir until wilted, about 3 to 5 minutes.
3. In a large mixing bowl, combine ground turkey, basil pesto, egg whites, rolled oats, grated Parmesan cheese, salt, and black pepper. Add the cooked onion and spinach mixture and mix thoroughly. Using an ice cream scoop, form the mixture into evenly sized meatballs. Place the meatballs on the prepared baking sheet.
4. Bake in the preheated oven until the meatballs are cooked through and no longer pink in the center, about 30 to 35 minutes.
