Chicken meatballs with spinach and carrot

CHICKEN + CARROT + SPINACH MEATBALLS

1 lb ground chicken or turkey
1/4 cup applesauce or apple puree
1/2 cup shredded carrot
1/2 cup chopped spinach
1 egg
1/2 cup breadcrumbs 
1/2 tsp cumin
salt and pepper

Instructions
1. In a large bowl, place all of the ingredients. Gently fold together with your hands until everything is well incorporated. Let sit while you pre-heat the oven. 
2. Pre-heat the oven to 450 degree F and line a baking sheet with parchment paper, silicon mat or tin foil. 
3. Roll meat mixture into 1" balls. I find it helps to wet your hands throughout the process. 
4. Place the meatballs onto the baking sheet and bake for 10-12 minutes or until meatballs are cooked through and gently browned. 

SOMETIMES I add shredded cheese too.
