1 Combine turkey, bread crumbs, spinach, egg, onion powder, and garlic powder together in a bowl. Roll mixture into palm-size meatballs and place 2 inches apart on a baking sheet.  Bake in the preheated oven until no longer pink in the center and outside is browned, 15 to 20 minutes. An instant-read thermometer inserted into the center should read at least 165 degrees F (74 degrees C).
Saute the meatballs in an oven-safe pan until browned all over; then add enough simmering sauce to cover them by about half and stir. Cover the pan and place it in the oven. Braise the meatballs for 10 to 12 minutes, stirring them after 5 minutes of cooking.
