Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 375 degrees F (190 degrees C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper and spray a little nonstick spray on it.
• Mix water and chia seeds together in a bowl to soak; set aside for 15 minutes. Stir after a few minutes to make sure all of the chia seeds are soaking up the water.
• Finely chop onions, carrots, celery, spinach, and garlic in a food processor.
• Heat olive oil in a skillet over medium heat. Sauté vegetable mixture over medium heat until softened, about 8 minutes. Set it aside and let it cool a bit before mixing with other ingredients, about 10 minutes.

• Shape turkey mixture into 48 meatballs and place onto the prepared pan. Brush with ketchup.
• Bake in the preheated oven until no longer pink in the centers, 20 to 25 minutes. An instant-read thermometer inserted into the center should read at least 165 degrees F (74 degrees C).
