Savory DelightINGREDIENTS: INSTRUCTIONS: 2) Once water has come to a boil, add in 6 thawed turkey meatballs into the sauce pan. Add 1/2 teaspoon of olive oil to boiling water. Let turkey meatballs cook in boiling water for 7 minutes. 3) While turkey meatballs are boiling, place a pan on High heat, and add a teaspoon of olive oil once pan is hot., and sautee just over a handful of green beans for 5 minutes 4) In the same pan, after 5 minutes, turn the heat to Medium and add in 2 handfuls of spinach. Once spinach starts to welt, turn the heat to Low and simmer. Add in 2 table spoons of water to the pan, simmer, and cover for 3 minutes. 5) Once Spinach and green beans are cooked, remove them from the pan and place aside. 6) Meatballs will be cooked after 7 minutes. Drain all the water from sauce pan and add meatballs to the pan on medium heat. Add 3 tablespoons of Soyaki Marinade to the pan and toss to coat all the meatballs.
