My kids actually like these, and they are eating something that is good for them. Made with ground turkey and frozen spinach, I also throw in raw sunflower seeds and celery which makes them crunchy. If I want to get a little fancier with them I will make a brown gravy and add mushrooms. Serve over noodles, rice, or mashed potatoes.

  • I normally don't want to think about any ground meat, but this is a fabulous, fantastic recipe! And it sure makes a lot for a small amount of money..... WAY TO GO for submitting a real winning recipe! I also sometimes make the gravy with milk, butter, flour and some Kitchen Bouquet for a dark color and a little more flavor. Love both, yours it less fattening. Thanks again for the great recipe!
