Ingredients




For the cyclops:
1 pound ground turkey (give or take a few ounces depending on package weight)
1 cup sharp cheddar cheese, grated
1/2 apple, cored and seeded, then grated (peel on)
1/4 onion, finely chopped
1/2 cup bread crumbs
Salt and pepper
6 Pimento-stuffed green olives
Ketchup
For monster hair:
Spinach spaghetti
1-2 T Butter
3/4 cup Parmesan cheese, grated

Preparation

1 Preheat oven to 375 degrees F. 2 Mix the ground turkey with the grated cheese, grated apple, diced onion, breadcrumbs, salt and pepper in a large bowl. 3 Form into 4-6 evenly-sized balls. Gently press each ball to flatten the bottoms (this will help keep them from falling over). 4 Place on a non-stick cookie sheet and bake for 15 minutes or until a thermometer inserted in the center reads 165 degrees F. 5 5 minutes before meatballs are done, prepare the spaghetti. 6 Bring salted water to a boil in a large stockpot. Add spaghetti and cook until done. 7 Drain and put in a medium bowl. 8 Toss spaghetti with butter and Parmesan cheese. 9 Remove meatballs from oven and place on serving dish. 10 Pipe a mouth on each meatball with ketchup. (TIP: to make a piping bag squirt some ketchup into a plastic sandwich bag and snip the tip off one corner) 11 Place spaghetti on top of each meatball for the monsters' hair. 12 Serve with extra ketchup for dipping.
