Ingredients

1: box (9 oz) frozen chopped spinach

2: slices whole wheat sandwich bread, torn in pieces

1/4: cup half-and-half

1: lb ground turkey

1: can Pillsbury™ refrigerated original breadsticks

1: cup shredded mozzarella cheese (4 oz)

2: cups tomato pasta sauce

Steps

1 Heat oven to 375°F. Line 2 large cookie sheets with parchment paper.
2 Microwave frozen spinach as directed on box; cool slightly. Squeeze dry with paper towels.
3 In medium bowl, mix bread pieces and half-and-half; let stand 1 minute. With fork, mash bread until well blended. Add spinach, turkey, 3/4 teaspoon salt and 1/4 teaspoon pepper; mix well. Shape mixture into 36 (1 1/2-inch) balls.
4 Unroll dough; separate into 12 breadsticks. Thread one end of a breadstick on 10-inch skewer; add 1 meatball, leaving 1/4 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.
5 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 meatball skewer with about 1 tablespoon cheese. Bake 3 to 4 minutes longer or until cheese is melted.
6 Meanwhile, in 1-quart saucepan, cook sauce over medium-low heat 3 to 4 minutes, stirring occasionally, or until thoroughly heated. Serve with meatball skewers.
