  • 1 1/2 Cups Panko Breadcrumbs
  • 1 Tbsp Salt

Method-

In a large skillet, heat a little olive oil over medium heat. Sautee spinach until wilted and drain well.

Mix together the turkey, spinach, egg, ricotta, breadcrumbs and seasonings in a large bowl.

Shape into meatballs. Heat the skillet over medium high heat and brown the meatballs on all sides. Add garlic and cook for 5 minutes. Add white wine or chicken stock and allow it to cook down, stirring often. Add heavy cream and tomatoes. Bring to a simmer. Once tomato skins have “popped” remove from the heat and add the cheese and butter. Stir until melted.

Serve and enjoy!
