Spinach Turkey Meatballs
Meet the Cook: Our children - ages 3,5,7 and 9 - call these "Gramby Meatballs" because the recipe came from my dear mother-in-law. It's a great way to make spinach palatable. I usually make a triple batch, bake them all and freeze the extras for a quick meal later. That's helpful since I'm also a part-time college professor.
