Step 1

Before doing anything else, thaw spinach. Dry thoroughly and break up/re-chop to avoid clumping.

Step 2

Stir together marinara cause and diced tomatoes in a 5- to 6-quart slow cooker. Using your hands, combine turkey, spinach, panko, cheese, parsley, garlic, thyme, salt, and pepper in a large bowl until blended. Shape mixture into 1.5 inch meatballs, and place in slow cooker with sauce. Cover and cook on low until meatballs are cooked through, 3 to 4 hours.

Step 3

Meanwhile, prepare pasta according to package directions, omitting salt and fat; drain. Divide orzo into bowls. Serve meatballs and sauce over pasta. Garnish with parsley or basil, if desired.
