Spinach and Turkey Meatballs with homemade white sauce!

I make this ALL the time. It is from my friend Raygon. It is yummy and usually this recipe makes enough for us to eat twice, or feeds a crowd. If we don't have company over, I just freeze half of the meatballs raw, and freeze the leftover sauce for another night.


10 oz frozen spinach, thawed
2 lbs of turkey
1 medium onion, finely chopped
1 clove of garlic, minced
1 egg
1/4 cup milk
3/4 c bread crumbs
salt and pepper
olive oil

Wring spinach with paper towel and combine all ingredients in large bowl (minus the olive oil). Grease a baking sheet. Form ingredients into bite sized meatballs and drizzle with a little oil, or spray the tops with PAM. Bake in oven 400 for about 20 minutes. (If cooking from frozen cook them a few minutes longer until they look slightly browned around the bottom edges.)

While meatballs are baking, make sauce

white sauce:
2T butter
2T flour
1 1/2 cup heavy cream
1 cup chicken broth (homemade is the BEST if you can!)
8 oz deli sliced provolone cheese, cut into cubes or shredded

Melt butter in sauce pan, add in flour, cook for one minute. Then whisk in cream and chicken broth. Bring to a boil and then stir in provolone until melted. Salt and pepper to taste.


Serve everything over egg noodles.
