Instructions

  1. Mix the turkey with half the garlic, half the salt, and the pepper. Shape it into small meatballs. Wash the bowl, board, knife, and hands with soap and water before touching anything else.
  2. Heat the oil in a skillet over medium heat. Cook the meatballs for 10 to 12 minutes, turning often, until browned and the centers reach 165F (74C) on an instant-read thermometer. Transfer them to a clean plate.
  3. Add the remaining garlic and tomatoes to the skillet. Cook for 5 to 6 minutes, until fragrant and reduced slightly. Stir in the spinach and cook for 1 to 2 minutes, until wilted.
  4. Cook the cornmeal in salted water according to the package directions until creamy and thick. Stir in the Parmesan. Serve the meatballs and sauce over polenta.
