Turkey Meatballs in Red Pepper: Baked

Instructions:

1. Preheat oven to 400°F (200°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper and lightly brush with 1 tbsp olive oil.
2. In a large bowl, combine ground turkey, Panko, feta, chopped spinach, minced garlic, egg, oregano, salt, and pepper.
3. Mix the ingredients gently using hands or a spatula until just combined to avoid a dense texture.
4. Roll the mixture into 16 evenly sized balls, approximately 1.5 inches in diameter.
5. Place meatballs on the baking sheet and bake for 15-18 minutes, or until mahogany-colored and the internal temperature reaches 165°F (74°C).
6. While meatballs bake, heat 2 tbsp olive oil in a pan and sauté smashed garlic until aromatic.
7. Combine roasted red peppers, sautéed garlic, Greek yogurt, smoked paprika, and onion powder in a high-speed blender or food processor; blend until velvety.
8. Simmer the sauce in a pan, add the baked meatballs to coat, and garnish with fresh parsley.
