Before starting, remove 1 tbsp ( 2 tbsp) butter from the fridge and set aside to come up to room temperature. Preheat the oven to 450˚F.Wash and dry all produce. Roughly chop spinachCore, then cut pepper into 1/4-inch pieces.Peel, then mince or grate garlic.
Combine turkey, breadcrumbs, half the stock powder, half the Italian Seasoning and 1/8 tsp (1/4 tsp) salt in a large bowl. Season with pepper. Mix thoroughly to combine. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.Form turkey mixture into 10 equal-sized meatballs (20 meatballs for 4 ppl) and arrange on the prepared baking sheet.
Roast in the middle of the oven, until golden brown and cooked through, 12-14 min.**
Meanwhile, heat a large pot over medium heat. When hot, add 1/2 tbsp (1 tbsp) oil, then garlic, peppers and mirepoix. Cook, stirring occasionally, until veggies begin to soften, 3-4 min.
