Turkey Meatballs

I can’t say that I am a huge poultry fan. Megan doesn’t eat red meat, so we often comprise on dinner by selecting a dish that is capable of being made with different meats. Tomorrow we are planning on having Turkey Meatballs. Here is what is in the dish (although I might get a pack of ground veal or lamb if the grocery store has it and it is affordable):

pack of frozen spinach
garlic
italian style breadcrumbs
ground sage
onion
carton of chicken stock
bag of shredded mixed provelone cheese (preferably the one with smoked provelone in it)
one nutmeg seed
Bag egg noodles

I don’t quite know what it is about this simple dish that I love so much. Perhaps it’s the mindset that turkey is better for you than beef, and it makes me feel good about eating them.

The other fun part about making meals like this is that we get to work together in the kitchen. The smell of chopped and/or roasted garlic always seems to fill the house in such a way as to mentally prepare me for the deliciousness that will ensue.

Also, with two in the kitchen, we can clean as we go. By the time dinner is over, we have only our plates and hot pans/glassware to take care of. With a full belly, it sets the mood for relaxation and good conversations.

I will let you know how it goes when we cook it up tomorrow night.

Cheers!
