Steps

1

Preheat oven 350°F. Line a 15x10x1 inch baking pan with foil: set aside. In a large bowl, combine egg, mozzarella cheese, the 1/2 cup Parmesan cheese, the bread crumbs, garlic powder, and pepper. Stir in spinach. Add ground turkey; mix well. Shape mixture into 30 meatballs. Place meatballs in the prepared baking pan.
2

Bake about 20 minutes or until meatballs are no longer pink. Drain off fat.
3

Meanwhile, cook spaghetti according to package directions. Before draining spaghetti, remove 1/2 cup of the cooking water and set aside. Drain spaghetti, return to pan. Cover and keep warm.
4

In a large skillet, combine chicken broth, butter, and garlic. Bring to boiling: reduce heat. Simmer, uncovered, about 2 minutes or until mixture is slightly thickened. Pour liquid mixture over cooked spaghetti: toss gently to coat. If necessary, gradually add enough of the reserved cooking water to spaghetti mixture to moisten.
5

To serve, divide spaghetti mixture among 6 shallow bowls. Top with meatballs. If desired, sprinkle with additional Parmesan cheese.
