Feta and Spinach Turkey Meatballs

So I have three tests in the next seven days, so of course I am going to procrastinate by grocery shopping and cooking.

Bless grocery sales. When something is on sale at the store, I automatically start thinking of things I can make. Kroger this weekend had a wonderful sale. I found ground turkey, with included coupon, and feta on sale. I have been wanting to combine these two things for awhile and now was the opportune moment. While the feta I bought was the tomato basil variety, I am sure that any other type would be good. I simply got this one because it was the particular one on sale.

These meatballs have no bread crumbs or oatmeal or whatever else people throw in meatballs. First, I do not have bread to put in them and second, I was not bothered to get some. If you are that particular, through some extra carbs in there.
