Marinara Turkey Meatballs – A double-batch of these meatballs leaves me with COLD hands, but the satisfaction of a meal for tonight and two in the freezer for later. Enjoy!

1 package (10 ounces) frozen chopped spinach, thawed and squeezed dry
1/2 cup Southern Homestyle cornflake crumbs
1 small onion, finely chopped
3 tablespoons minced fresh parsley
2 garlic cloves, minced
1/4 teaspoon ground nutmeg
1/4 teaspoon ground allspice
1/4 teaspoon pepper
1-1/4 pounds lean ground turkey
1 jar (26 ounces) Nature’s Promise or other GFCF meatless spaghetti sauce
9 ounces uncooked Tinkyada or other GF spaghetti

In a large bowl, combine the spinach, crumbs, onion, parsley, garlic, nutmeg, allspice and pepper. Crumble turkey over mixture and mix well. Shape into 24 meatballs. Place on a broiler pan coated with cooking spray. Broil 4-6 in. from the heat for 8 minutes. Turn; broil 3-5 minutes longer or until meat is no longer pink. (Freeze extra meatballs for later use.) Transfer meatballs to a Dutch oven; add spaghetti sauce. Bring to a boil. Reduce heat; cover and simmer for 10 minutes. Meanwhile, cook spaghetti according to package directions; drain. Serve with meatballs and sauce.
