Spinach Meatballs

Want to get some veggies into your kids - these work well!

Freeze uncooked meatballs for a quick meal during the week.  You can cook them from frozen.

1 1/2 lb - 675 g lean ground beef or turkey
1 pkg chopped frozen spinach, thawed
1 slice whole wheat bread, chopped into crumbs
1/2 cup grated Parmesan
1 egg
1 tbsp ground flax seed
salt and pepper


  1. Put all the ingredients into a large bowl, season and mix it all together by hand without overworking the mixture.
  2. Preheat the oven to 400 F
  3. Roll the meat mixture into walnut sized balls and place them on a rimmed baking sheet. 
  4. Bake for 10-15 minutes, or until cooked through.  Alternatively cook the meatballs in a heavy skillet drizzled with canola or olive oil and set over medium high heat.
Use for spaghetti and meatballs - delicious!
