Servings: 4

2 slices white bread
1 small onion
1 pound turkey -- ground
1 package chopped spinach -- thawed
1 teaspoon salt
1/4 teaspoon pepper
1 large egg
3 carrots -- med. size.
1/4 pound mushrooms
1 jar spaghetti sauce -- garden-style
cooked spaghetti for 4 servings

Preheat oven 400F. Grease or spray 13 x 9 inch baking pan. Chop the bread until fine crumbs form (about 1 cup). Grate onion for 1 tablespoon.

In large bowl, mix bread crumbs and grated onion with ground turkey, spinach, salt, pepper, and egg.

Shape turkey mixture into 16 meatballs. Place meatballs in pan and bake 25 minutes or until meatballs are lightly browned and cooked through.

Meanwhile, thinly slice carrots and cut mushrooms into 1/2-inch pieces.

In 3 quart saucepan over high heat, heat carrots, mushrooms, pasta sauce, and 1/2 cup water to boiling. Reduce heat to low; cover and simmer 20 minutes. When meatballs are done, add to sauce; cover and simmer 10 minutes longer to blend flavors and cook vegetables until tender. Serve over spaghetti or rice.
