Number Of Ingredients 15

1 (10 ounce) box frozen spinach, defrosted
2 lbs ground turkey
1 onion, finely chopped
3 garlic cloves, finely chopped
1 egg
1 3/4 cups milk
3/4 cup breadcrumbs
1/2 cup parmesan cheese, grated
salt and pepper
olive oil
2 tablespoons butter
2 tablespoons flour
1 cup chicken broth
10 ounces provolone cheese, shredded
1/2 teaspoon nutmeg

Steps:

  • Preheat the oven to 400.

  • Whisk in the flour and cook for 1 minute, then whisk in the remaining milk and the chicken broth. Bring to a boil, and then stir in the shredded cheese. Season the sauce with salt, pepper and nutmeg; turn the heat to the lowest setting and stir until the cheese melts. Keep warm.
  • Place 3 meatballs on each dinner plate and top with sauce.
