Italian Turkey Meatballs
Love this healthier version of one of my favorite meals! Simple yet delicious! I always cook for at least 6. So feel free to half this recipe! Serves 8-12 people
Ingredients:
2 lbs ground turkey (love the Italian seasoned but not always available)
2 eggs
1 cup Italian breadcrumbs
1 cup parmesan cheese
3 tbsp minced garlic
2 tsp garlic powder
1 tbsp Italian Seasoning
2 tsp kosher salt
olive oil cooking spray
2 jars of red sauce (partial to Classico's or Trader Joe's cheese red sauce or Trader Joe's vodka sauce)
pasta
Preheat oven to 400 degrees. Mix together the eggs, breadcrumbs, parmesan cheese, garlics, seasoning and salt. Add turkey. Massage together with your hands. Roll mixture into inch size balls. Use a small cookie dough scoop for consistent sizing. Cover a baking sheet with aluminum foil and spray with cooking spray. Place balls on sheet an inch apart. Bake for 20 minutes or until golden and cooked through.
In a large skillet on low heat, pour both jars of sauce. Once meatballs are cooked, add them to the sauce for 10-15 minutes. Serve over pasta.
