The Best Homemade Meatballs - cooking recipe

Ingredients

1 lb ground beef
1 lb ground turkey
1 lb ground pork
1 (10 ounce) package frozen chopped spinach, thawed, drained, and squeezed dry
1/2 cup parmesan cheese, finely grated
3 large eggs, beaten
2 tablespoons dried Italian herb seasoning
2 teaspoons garlic powder
2 teaspoons salt
1 teaspoon red pepper flakes
1/2 cup panko breadcrumbs

Preparation

Preheat the oven to 400. Coat 2 large, rimmed baking sheets with cooking spray.
In a large bowl, mix together all the ingredients until well incorporated. Try not to overmix.
Pinch off a teaspoon or so of the meat mixture and gently roll it into a 1-inch ball. Repeat, arranging the balls 1/2 inch apart on the baking sheets.
Bake the meatballs until lightly browned and cooked through, 20 to 25 minutes.
*Eat 'em right away: Toss warm meatballs with your favorite bar-b-que sauce and serve them on toasted sandwich rolls with a side of coleslaw or as an appetizer.
*Freeze 'em for later: Arrange cooled meatballs evely spaced on a baking sheet and freeze them for 20 minutes. Transfer them to ziplok freezer bags and store them for up to three months.
