Ingredients:

1 box (9 oz.) Green Giant® frozen chopped spinach

2 slices whole wheat sandwich bread, torn in pieces

¼ cup half-and-half

1 lb. ground turkey

1 can Pillsbury® refrigerated original breadsticks

1 cup shredded mozzarella cheese

2 cups tomato pasta sauce

¾ teaspoon salt

¼ teaspoon ground pepper

 

Directions:

Heat oven to 375°F. Line 2 large cookie sheets with parchment paper. Microwave frozen spinach as directed; cool slightly and squeeze dry with paper towels. In bowl, mix bread pieces and half-and-half; let stand 1 minute. With fork, mash bread until well blended. Add spinach, turkey, ¾ teaspoon salt and ¼ teaspoon pepper; mix well. Shape mixture into 36 (1½-inch) balls. Unroll dough; separate into 12 breadsticks. Thread one end of a breadstick on 10-inch skewer; add 1 meatball, leaving ¼ inch between dough and meatball. Repeat threading with breadstick and 2 additional meatballs. Place 1 inch apart on cookie sheet. Repeat with remaining breadsticks and meatballs. Bake 18 to 22 minutes, rotating cookie sheets halfway through bake time, or until meatballs are no longer pink in center and meat thermometer in center of meatball reads 165°F. Sprinkle each skewer with 1 tablespoon cheese. Bake 3 to 4 minutes longer or until cheese is melted. Meanwhile, in 1-quart saucepan, cook sauce over medium-low heat until thoroughly heated. Serve with meatball skewers.
