Ingredients

2 lbs of ground beef (I use organic grass fed beef)

1 pound of ground turkey

10 ounces frozen spinach (thaw and squeeze all the liquid out of it).

1 cup finely grated good quality Parmesan cheese*
2 teaspoon salt

1 teaspoons pepper

2 eggs

2 teaspoons dried basil 2 teaspoons dried parsley 2 teaspoons of Italian seasoning 2 teaspoon garlic powder

Directions

(1) Preheat the oven to 400 degrees

(2) In a large mixing bowl, combine the ground meat, spinach, cheese, eggs and spices. Using dean hands, mix all the ingredients together well

(3) Roll meat into ball shape a tad bigger then golf ball size (these shrink upon cooking). Place the meatballs on a cookie sheet lined with a Silicone Baking Sheet (i e. Silpat).

(4) Bake the meatballs for 15 minutes Remove them from the oven and turn then over. Place the meatballs back in the oven and cook for an additional 10 minutes or until cooked through.If you have leftovers, you can securely freeze them in a freezer bag like this: http://www.christineiscooking com/2011/07/freezer-burn-saving-your- food-without.html

Notes

*Note: The saltiness of the meatballs can vary depending on the grade of parmesan you use I use a high quality fresh grated parmesan from Costco which has to be refrigerated and is less salty then say the grocery store parmesan that is shelf- stable If you use the shelf-stable type parmesan, you may want to decrease the added salt a bit.
