  • 6 oz spinach chopped
  • ½ bunch parsley chopped, stems removed
  • ½ yellow onion diced
  • 2 cloves garlic minced
  • 1 egg
  • cup feta
  • 5 sun-dried tomatoes minced
  • 1 tsp salt

  • 2 tsp dried mint
  • 1 tbsp Za'atar

Instructions

  • Preheat the oven to 400 degrees Fahrenheit.

  • Wilt the spinach and parsley in a pan.

  • Mix everything but the turkey together in a mixing bowl. Make sure everything is evenly distributed!
    1 slice bread, 6 oz spinach, ½ yellow onion, 2 cloves garlic, 1 egg, ⅔ cup feta, 5 sun-dried tomatoes, 1 tsp salt, 1 tsp pepper, 2 tsp dried mint, 1 tbsp Za'atar, ½ bunch parsley
  • Mix in the turkey until just combined.

  • Shape the meatballs. We made 15 plum-sized meatballs, but you can make as many or as few as you like! If your meatballs are having trouble staying together, you can chill them for 20 minutes before baking.
  • Bake for 30 minutes or until a thermometer reads 165 degrees Fahrenheit. When the meatballs are finished, let them rest for 5 minutes to maintain their shape.
