Ingredients

Servings

For the meatballs:

  • 1 pound ground turkey
  • 1 egg large
  • ½ cup plain breadcrumbs
  • 2 Tablespoons Italian seasoning
  • 3 Tablespoons Parmesan Cheese grated
  • ½ teaspoon garlic powder
  • ½ teaspoon kosher salt
  • 6 black pepper fresh ground, from cranks

For the Sauce:

  • 15 ounce tomato sauce canned
  • 5 Roma tomato diced, large
  • 2 basil snipped, big handfuls
  • 4-5 cloves garlic chopped
  • ½ teaspoon red wine vinegar
  • 1 teaspoon kosher salt
  • 6 black pepper fresh ground, from cranks
  • 2 Tablespoons Parmesan Cheese grated

Instructions

  1. In large bowl, mix together the meatball ingredients until combined evenly (I use my hands). Roll into 25 balls (about 1 1/2-2 inches). Space evenly on a lightly greased baking sheet. Bake in a 375 degree oven for 16-20 minutes.
  2. While baking, mix all sauce ingredients together in medium saucepan on low heat. Stir occasionally.
  3. To serve, pour sauce over meatballs and enjoy!

Notes

  • Swap out the ground turkey for ground beef or ground chicken, or use a combo of flavors here!
  • To keep meatballs from sticking: Use a pan liner or parchment paper on your baking sheet. You can also lightly coat the pan with cooking spray or olive oil before adding the meatballs.
  • What seasoning to use: Any store bought Italian seasoning mix will do just fine. If you don't have that, make your own homemade seasoning blend.
  • How long will these keep? Turkey meatballs will keep for about 3 days in the fridge and up to 3 months in the freezer. I love them best when they are hot and toasty from the oven!
