Turkey Meatballs

Ingredients for Meatballs:

16 ounces of ground turkey (I used the 93/7)

1/4 cup of plain bread crumbs

1/4 cup Parmesan cheese

1/8 cup of dried Parsley

1 egg (I used egg beaters)

1 garlic clove, minced

salt and pepper to taste

Ingredients for Sauce:

1 teaspoon of light olive oil

4 garlic cloves, minced

1-28 ounce can of crushed tomatoes

1 bay leaf

salt and pepper to taste

Preheat oven to 350 degrees

In a large bowl combine all meatball ingredients, mix with clean hands and mix well.

To form meatballs I used a tablespoon to get the amount I wanted and then rolled them in my hands to form a ball.

Place meatballs on a greased cookie sheet and bake for 15 minutes, turning a couple of times so all gets a little baked.

While meatballs are in oven start the sauce.

In a large heavy pot heat with olive oil and then saute the garlic, pour crushed tomatoes in the pot and add the bay leaf.

Then once the meatballs have been in oven for 15 minutes (they won't be cooked all the way through) place them in the tomato sauce and reduce heat to low and cover with lid. Cook on low for 2 1/2 to 3 hours.

Then serve over your favorite pasta!

Enjoy!!!
