TURKEY MEATBALLS IN TOMATO SAUCE
Tender meatballs filled with onions and Parmesan, bathed in plenty of tomato sauce, are classics in every way except for one: They call for turkey instead of the usual beef (or beef-veal-pork combination). Serve them over spaghetti or polenta, or stuff them into a hero roll for a sandwich. Try to use ground dark meat turkey here if you can, it has a deeper, richer flavor than ground white meat.

Steps:
- In a large bowl, combine cheese, bread crumbs, onion, chives, garlic, salt, pepper, oregano and red pepper flakes, if using, and mix well. Add turkey and egg and blend with your hands until well mixed. If you've got time, cover mixture and chill for an hour or up to 24 hours. These are easiest to form into balls while very cold. Form into 28 meatballs, each about 1 1/4-inches in diameter.
- Heat 2 tablespoons of the oil in a large sauté pan. When hot, add enough of the meatballs to fit in one layer without crowding, and brown on all sides, 5 to 8 minutes. Transfer to a plate, add another tablespoon of oil to pan and brown another layer of meatballs, transferring them to the plate as they brown. Repeat until all meatballs are browned, adding more oil to the pan as needed.
- When meatballs are all browned, add marinara sauce to pan and bring to a simmer, scraping up the browned bits on the pan bottom. Return meatballs and their juices to pan, shake pan to cover the meatballs with sauce, and lower heat. Partly cover pan and simmer until the meatballs are cooked through, 15 to 20 minutes.
- Serve hot, drizzled with more olive oil and sprinkled with more cheese, if you like.

Steps:
- Make Tomato Sauce:
- Purée tomatoes with their purée in a blender.
- Heat oil in a large heavy pot over medium-high heat until it shimmers, then sauté onion until golden, 5 to 6 minutes. Add garlic and sauté 1 minute. Add tomato purée, sugar, and salt and simmer, uncovered, stirring occasionally, until thickened, 30 to 35 minutes.
- Make Meatballs While Sauce Simmers:
- Stir together bread crumbs and milk in a large bowl and let stand for 10 minutes.
- Stir in eggs, cheese, garlic, parsley, oregano, and salt, then add turkey and blend with your hands until just combined well (do not overmix).
- Form 1 1/2-tablespoon portions into meatballs and arrange on 2 well-oiled large, heavy, rimmed baking sheets.
- Make Garlic Bread:
- Stir together butter, oil, garlic, salt, cheese, parsley, and pepper in a bowl. Spread about 2 rounded teaspoons garlic butter onto both split sides of each bun. Arrange buns, buttered sides up, on a large baking sheet.
- Broil Meatballs and Garlic Bread:
- Preheat broiler.
- Broil meatballs 3 to 4 inches from heat, turning over once, until golden and just cooked through (165°F on instant-read thermometer), 5 to 8 minutes.
- Broil buns, buttered sides only, until golden, 30 seconds to 1 minute, watching closely (buns brown fast).
- Assemble Heroes:
- Spoon some sauce on each bun, then top with 4 meatballs (depending on size of buns), and drizzle with more sauce.
Tips:
- Use a food processor to grind the turkey meat. This will make the meatballs more tender and juicy.
- Mix the ground turkey with bread crumbs, eggs, onion, garlic, and parsley. This will help to bind the meatballs together and give them flavor.
- Season the ground turkey mixture with salt, pepper, and Italian seasoning. This will add flavor to the meatballs.
- Form the ground turkey mixture into 1-inch meatballs.
- Brown the meatballs in a skillet over medium heat. This will help to seal in the juices and give the meatballs a nice color.
- Add the garlic sauce and simmer the meatballs until they are cooked through. This will infuse the meatballs with flavor.
- Serve the meatballs over pasta, rice, or mashed potatoes.
Conclusion:
Turkey meatballs in garlic sauce is a delicious and easy-to-make dish that is perfect for a weeknight meal. The meatballs are tender and juicy, and the garlic sauce is flavorful and rich. This dish is sure to be a hit with your family and friends.
