Instructions

    Cup of Yum
  1. Preheat oven to 400° F. and line a sheet pan with foil. Spray it with cooking spray.
  2. In a large bowl stir together all the meatball ingredients except the ground turkey until combined. Add in the turkey and use your hands to combine everything. Be careful not to over mix. Use a tablespoon or tablespoon sized cookie scoop to scoop out the meat mixture. Roll into balls and place them onto the prepared baking sheet. Bake the meatballs for 15-20 minutes or until the internal temperature is 160° - 165° F.
  3. While the meatballs are baking heat the olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add the spinach and chopped artichokes and season with salt and pepper. Stir often and when the spinach wilts add in the garlic, onion powder and red pepper flakes. Sauté another minute and then stir in the cream cheese until it’s melted.
  4. Pour in the milk and lower the heat to medium-low. Let the sauce gently simmer for several minutes until it starts to thicken. Stir often. Stir in the Parmesan cheese until it’s melted.
  5. Remove the skillet from the heat and stir in the Greek yogurt. Taste for seasoning and then add the meatballs and stir to coat them in the sauce. If the sauce seems really thick add in a little extra milk to thin it out.
