Homemade Meatball Recipe with Spinach

We adore this meatball recipe we found in FamilyFun Magazine. Such a clever way to get spinach into foods kids love. 

Ingredients

• 1 pound ground beef
• 1 pound ground turkey
• 1 pound ground pork
• 1 (10-ounce package) frozen  chopped spinach, thawed, drained, and squeezed dry
• 1/2 cup finely grated Parmesan cheese
• 3 large eggs, beaten
• 2 tablespoons dried Italian herb seasoning
• 2 teaspoons salt
• 1 teaspoon red pepper flakes
• 1/2 cup fine or panko bread crumbs

Preparation

1. Preheat the oven to 400 degrees.
2. Coat 2 large, rimmed baking sheets with cooking spray.
3. In a large bowl, mix together all the ingredients until well combined.  Don't overmix.
4. Pinch off about a teaspoon of the meat mixture and gently roll into a 1-inch ball. Repeat.
5. Arrange the balls 1/2 inch apart on the baking sheets.
6. Bake the meatballs until lightly browned and cooked through, 20 to 25 minutes.
