Healthy Cheesy Chicken Meatballs

1 lb ground chicken or turkey
1/2 cup finely minced carrots (I micro zested them)
1 small onion finely minced
Handful of fresh spinach finely minced
1 tablespoon plain Greek yogurt
2 tablespoons skim or 2% milk
1 egg
1 teaspoon salt
1/2 teaspoon pepper

Mix all ingredients except chicken or turkey together until well combined.  Add in ground meat and mix with hands.  Shape into balls or patties and place on a baking sheet lined with foil and sprayed with canola oil or olive oil. 

Topping
1 tablespoon light mayo (I prefer dukes)
1/4 cup reduced fat shredded mozzarella cheese
1/4 cup shredded parmesan cheese

Put mayo in the corner of a Ziploc bag and snip the corner off (make sure its tiny)
Squirt a small amount of mayo on each meatball or patty.  Mix cheeses together and put a small amount on each meatball.  (depending how healthy you want your meatballs will determine how much of the topping you put on each meatball)

Bake at 400° for 20-30 minutes or until meatballs are done.

Enjoy!
