Time 1h10m

Yield 4 to 6 servings

Number Of Ingredients 14

2 slices bread, any kind, with crust
2 to 4 tablespoons chicken broth or milk
12 ounces ground turkey
12 ounces lean ground beef, preferably 85 percent lean
1 large egg
1/2 cup chopped parsley, more for garnish
2 tablespoons grated Parmesan cheese, more for garnish
3/4 teaspoon salt, more for pasta water
1/2 teaspoon ground black pepper
1 onion, minced
7 garlic cloves, minced
2 tablespoons olive oil
1 28-ounce can whole peeled tomatoes
1 pound whole wheat spaghetti

Steps:

  • Place bread in a large bowl and sprinkle with broth or milk until soaked. Allow to sit 5 minutes, then squeeze out and discard most of the liquid; crumble bread. Add turkey, beef, egg, 1/2 cup parsley, 2 tablespoons Parmesan, salt, pepper, half the onion and a third of the minced garlic. Mix well and form into golf-ball-size balls ( about 24).
  • In a large nonstick skillet over medium heat, heat 1 tablespoon oil. Sauté meatballs until browned, about 10 minutes. Remove from heat, set aside.
  • In a large saucepan, combine remaining 1 tablespoon olive oil, remaining minced onion and remaining minced garlic. Cover and cook over medium-low heat, stirring occasionally, until translucent, about 10 minutes. Add tomatoes, bring to a simmer, and cook uncovered for about 10 minutes, breaking up tomatoes with a wooden spoon.
  • Add meatballs to pan of sauce. Cover, reduce heat to low and simmer for 20 minutes. Meanwhile, bring a large pot of lightly salted water to a boil, and cook pasta until al dente. To serve, drain pasta and divide among four to six bowls. Top with meatballs and sauce, and garnish with parsley and Parmesan.
