Turkey Meatballs with Spinach in Cheese Sauce

Make this dinner and I can guarantee you will never buy pre made meatballs or white sauce again. This is the best there is!!

meatballs: this made a lot of meatballs. We ate half and I froze the rest.
10 oz frozen spinach, thawed
2 lbs of turkey
1 medium onion, finely chopped
1 clove of garlic, minced
1 egg
1/4 cup milk
3/4 c bread crumbs
salt and pepper
olive oil

wring spinach with paper towel and combine all ingredients in large bowl (minus the olive oil) form into bite sized meatballs and drizzle with a little oil. Bake in oven 400 for about 20 minutes

While meatballs are baking, make sauce

white sauce:
2T butter
2T flour
1 1/2 cup heavy cream
1 cup chicken broth
8 oz shredded provolone cheese

Melt butter in sauce pan, add in flour, cook for one minute. Then whisk in cream and chicken broth. Bring to a boil and then stir in provolone. Season to taste with salt and pepper.

Serve meatballs and white sauce over egg noodles and enjoy!

I love this recipe. I especially like the white sauce. It is so versatile. I made it with chicken and brocolli fettucinni. Yum!
