Ingredients

  • cooking spray
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil
  • 1 onion, diced
  • 1 clove garlic, minced
  • 1 cup frozen spinach
  • 1 pound lean ground turkey
  • 1/3 cup pesto
  • 2 egg whites
  • 1 1/2 (1 ounce) packets plain instant oatmeal
  • 1/4 cup grated Parmesan cheese
  • salt and ground black pepper to taste

Method

  • Preheat the oven to 375 degrees F (190 degrees C). Grease a large baking pan with cooking spray.
  • Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add onion and garlic; cook and stir until browned, about 5 minutes. Add spinach; mix until fully cooked, 3 to 5 minutes.
  • In the meantime, combine turkey, pesto, egg whites, oatmeal, Parmesan cheese, salt, and pepper in a large mixing bowl. Add onion-spinach mixture and mix well. Shape mixture into balls using an ice cream scoop. Place in the prepared pan.
  • Bake in the preheated oven until no longer pink in the center, 30 to 35 minutes.
