Garden Meatballs

Ingredients

1/2 lb. lean ground turkey
1 lb. lean ground beef
4 cups spinach, finely chopped
1/2 cup celery, finely chopped
4 green onions, white and light green parts only, finely chopped (or can do with red onion)
1 teaspoon sea salt
1/2 teaspoon black pepper

Directions:

1. Preheat the oven to 375°F.
2. In a large mixing bowl, combine all the ingredients. With dampened palms, roll the meat mixture into meatballs and transfer them to a 9 × 13‑inch baking dish (or larger, depending on the size of meatballs).
3. Bake for 25 to 35 minutes, turning the meatballs over after 15 minutes, or until the meatballs are cooked through. Remove from the oven and cool. Serve warm or room temperature, or store to serve later.
4. These meatballs may be prepared in advance and frozen in freezer bags, divided evenly among 12 bags. On the day you plan to use them, thaw them in the refrigerator. They can be eaten cold or slightly warmed.
