\nThe following is a post from contributing writer\u00a0Andrea Green<\/a>.<\/em><\/p>\n

Did you eat porcupine balls as a kid? Turkey Porcupine Meatballs are an update of that classic recipe. Using turkey instead of ground beef makes these porcupine balls lighter. Spinach and brown rice are added to up the nutritional value.<\/p>\n

Since this recipe calls for brown rice, I’d suggest cooking up a big batch at the beginning of the week. Use some brown rice for these meatballs, then use the rest to make Quick and Easy Jambalaya<\/a>. Now you have two nights worth of meals planned!<\/p>\n

If you have little ones at home, letting them use toothpicks to eat these meatballs is a great way to make mealtime fun. Finding the ones that have some frills on the top always made meal time more interesting \u00a0at my house.<\/p>\n
