Ingredients
- 1 chicken or turkey sausage link, removed from casing, Italian
- cooking spray
- 1/4 cup all-purpose flour
- 1 egg lightly beaten, 1 whole and 1 white
- 1/2 cup seasoned bread crumbs
- 1 cup brown rice hot, cooked
- 1/3 cup mozzarella cheese shredded
- 1/4 cup spinach chopped
- 1 egg large, white
- 3 tbsp pecorino romano

Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 400° F. Spray a rimmed baking sheet with cooking spray.
- Place the flour, beaten egg and egg white, and bread crumbs in separate bowls.
- Cook the sausage in a small saute pan, breaking it up as it cooks until cooked through.

- In a medium bowl, combine the rice, sausage, mozzarella, spinach, egg white, pecorino romano cheese, and 2 tbsp marinara sauce mixing well.

- Place the breaded rice ball on the prepared baking sheet.
- Repeat with the remaining rice mixture until it has all been used up.
