Time 55m

Yield 8

Number Of Ingredients 15

cooking spray
1 cup Italian-style bread crumbs
½ cup freshly grated Parmesan cheese
½ cup freshly grated Romano cheese
2 tablespoons chopped fresh parsley
1 teaspoon dried basil
1 teaspoon dried oregano
¼ teaspoon Cajun seasoning
½ cup minced onion
¼ cup Cabernet Sauvignon
2 eggs
2 cloves garlic, minced
1 pound ground turkey breast
1 pound ground Italian-flavored turkey sausage
4 cups spaghetti sauce

Steps:

  • Preheat the oven to 375 degrees F (190 degrees C). Spray a sheet pan with cooking spray.
  • Combine bread crumbs, Parmesan cheese, Romano cheese, parsley, basil, oregano, and Cajun seasoning in a bowl; mix until herbs are evenly distributed. Combine minced onion, Cabernet Sauvignon, eggs, and garlic in a second bowl; mix until well combined.
  • Mix together ground turkey and ground sausage in a third, large bowl. Add cheese mixture and onion mixture and mix until all ingredients are well combined. Form mixture into 1-inch meatballs and place on the prepared sheet pan.
  • Bake in the preheated oven until no longer pink in the center and the juices run clear, about 20 minutes. An instant-read thermometer inserted into the center should read at least 160 degrees F (71 degrees C).
  • Place spaghetti sauce in a large saucepan and stir in meatballs until coated. Bring to a simmer over medium heat and cook until warmed through, 5 to 10 minutes.
