- 1 lb ground turkey
- 1 can (11 oz) refrigerated Pillsbury™ Original Breadsticks (12 Count)

Step1Heat oven to 375°F. Line 2 large cookie sheets with parchment paper.

Step2Microwave frozen spinach as directed on box; cool slightly. Squeeze dry with paper towels.

Step4Unroll dough; separate into 12 breadsticks. Thread one end of a breadstick on 10-inch skewer; add 1 meatball, leaving 1/4 inch between dough and meatball. Repeat threading with breadstick and 2 additional meatballs. Place 1 inch apart on cookie sheet. Repeat with remaining breadsticks and meatballs.
