Ingredients
2 tablespoons olive oil
1 onion, finely chopped
1 rib celery, finely chopped
1/2 small red bell pepper, seeded and finely chopped
2 cloves garlic, finely chopped
1 pound ground turkey
1/2 cup quick-cooking (not instant) oats
1/2 cup grated Parmesan, plus more for serving
1 teaspoon Worcestershire sauce
One 10-ounce package frozen chopped spinach, thawed and excess moisture squeezed-out
Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper
4 cups prepared marinara sauce
Warm cooked spaghetti, for serving
Directions
- Heat the oil in a large wide pot over medium-high heat. Add the onion, celery, bell pepper and garlic and cook, stirring frequently, until soft, about 5 minutes. Transfer to a large bowl and cool. Reserve the pot.
- Meanwhile, add the turkey, oats, Parmesan, Worcestershire, spinach, 1/2 teaspoon salt and 1/4 teaspoon pepper to the cooled vegetables. Mix well and form into 24 small meatballs.
- Pour the marinara into the reserved pot and bring to a simmer. Add the meatballs, cover and cook, turning once or twice, until cooked through, about 8 minutes.
- Serve the meatballs and sauce over spaghetti and serve Parmesan on the side.
