Turkey and Spinach Meatballs! A Recipe Encouraging Produce for Kids!

I recently found a way to support my community as well as add vegetables into my children’s  day with Turkey and Spinach Meatballs!

The following is a sponsored post on behalf of the Produce for Kids campaign with Publix. Opinions expressed are that of my own.

Produce for Kids and Publix have teamed up again to raise funds in local communities to help feed local families!

Last year’s campaign raised more than $206,000, which supplied 2,275,295 meals to families in need through Feeding America.

Now through October 26, 2016 look inside your local Publix for special signage as well sponsors of this campaign including  Avocados from Mexico, Crunch Pak® Sliced Apples, Del Monte Foods® Fruit Naturals® Cups, Eat Smart® Fresh Cut Vegetables, Fresh Express® Packaged Salads, Michigan Apples, Suja® Juice, and Marie’s® Dressings.

Shoppers are also encouraged to support these brands by eating more nutritious fruits and vegetables, as well as sharing healthy recipes and ideas with the hashtag #produceforkids.

Let me just say that this was specially requested by my daughter, and to recreate my Turkey and Spinach Meatballs Recipe, you will need the following:

1 Bag of 5 oz Fresh Express Baby Spinach

2 Eggs

1 Cup of Italian Bread Crumbs

1 lb of Ground Turkey

Favorite Brand of Marinara (24 oz or larger)

2 Tbsp of Olive Oil

Directions:

First beat the eggs in a bowl and chopped up the spinach.

Next, combine the Turkey, Bread Crumbs, Spinach, and Eggs in a bowl (I used my hands) and place the Marinara in a pot on Medium.

Then, add olive oil to a pan on medium and start placing the rolled meatballs into the hot oil. I used 2 Tbsps in each meatball.

Brown the Meatballs in the pan using tongs to flip them over, I turned these 3-4 times. When finished, move the Turkey and Spinach Meatballs to the Marinara and move the heat to low.

Allow these to cook (stirring occasionally) for 30 minutes or until the internal temperature reaches 165 degrees.

This makes around 30 Turkey and Spinach Meatballs and these can then be served alone, over pasta, or on top of hoagie rolls. We happen to have them over bow tie noodles and my kiddos had the leftovers in their school lunches alongside Crunch Pak® Sliced Apples.
