Spinach Stuffing Balls

While these don't sound very appealing, they were a hit with both myself and my husband. The particular recipe I chose to make came from MomAdvice.com. I tweaked it slightly, so if you want to see the original recipe, follow the above link.

Spinach Stuffing Balls

2 (16 oz) packages frozen spinach
1 package turkey-flavored stuffing mix*
1 cup grated Parmesan cheese
5 eggs, lightly beaten
3/4 cup butter or margarine, melted

Thaw spinach and drain in a sieve, use back of a wooden spoon to press the spinach against the sieve to get as much moisture as possible out In a bowl combine the spinach, stuffing mix, Parmesan cheese, eggs, and butter. Mix thoroughly & roll into small balls 3/4 to 1″ size. (I used a "cookie" scoop to scoop out equal amounts and then rolled them in my hands to firm up the balls.) If cooking right away, place on a cookie sheet and bake at 350 degrees for 7 to 10 minutes or until lightly browned. If making for later, place on a cookie sheet and freeze. Once frozen, place in a freezer safe bag or container.

To serve from frozen: Place frozen balls on a cookie sheet and bake at 350F for 10-15 minutes or until lightly browned.

*Use turkey, chicken, or any other dry stuffing mix. Experiment and try out different combinations to find a flavor you like.
