Description
1 lb ground beef or turkey
1 cup fresh spinach, finely chopped
2 cloves garlic, minced
½ cup breadcrumbs (or almond flour for keto)
1 egg
½ tsp dried oregano
½ tsp garlic powder
½ tsp onion powder
½ tsp red pepper flakes (optional)
½ tsp salt
¼ tsp black pepper
4 oz mozzarella cheese, cut into small cubes
1 tbsp olive oil (for cooking)
Directions:
Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
In a bowl, mix ground meat, spinach, minced garlic, breadcrumbs, egg, oregano, garlic powder, onion powder, red pepper flakes, salt, and black pepper until
well combined.
Take a small portion of the meat mixture and flatten it in your palm. Place a cube of mozzarella in the center and wrap the meat around it, rolling into a
ball. Repeat with the remaining mixture.
Heat olive oil in a skillet over medium heat and sear the meatballs for 2-3 minutes until browned on all sides.
Transfer the meatballs to the prepared baking sheet and bake for 15-18 minutes until fully cooked.
Let them rest for a few minutes before serving. Enjoy warm!
