SPINACH TURKEY MEATBALLS

Spinach Turkey Meatballs image

Our children call these "Gramby Meatballs" because the recipe came from my dear mother-in-law. It's a great way to make spinach palatable. I usually make a triple batch, bake them all and freeze the extras for a quick meal later. -Mimi Blanco, Bronxville, New York
