Time 1h5m

Yield 4 to 6 servings

Number Of Ingredients 17

3 slices white bread, crust removed and torn into small shreds
1/4 cup whole milk
3/4 pound ground turkey (recommended: 93 percent lean dark meat)
1/2 pound Italian turkey sausage, casing removed
1/4 cup grated Parmesan, plus more for serving
2 tablespoons finely chopped parsley leaves
2 cloves garlic, finely chopped
Salt and freshly ground black pepper
Vegetable oil, for pan-frying
2 tablespoons olive oil
3 cloves garlic, chopped
1 teaspoons red pepper flakes
1 (28-ounce) can crushed tomatoes, in thick puree
1 teaspoon dried basil
1 teaspoon sugar
Salt and freshly ground black pepper
1 pound spaghetti, cooked al dente

Steps:

  • For the meatballs: Preheat vegetable oil over medium heat.
  • In a medium bowl, soak the torn white bread with the milk. Let soak for 1minute then remove the bread and squeeze out the excess milk.
  • In another bowl, add ground turkey, turkey sausage, Parmesan, parsley, garlic and salt and pepper. Add milk soaked bread and mix all ingredients gently. Form meat mixture into 1 1/2-inch meatballs.
  • In a large heavy skillet, add meatballs and cook until golden brown on all sides. Remove the meatballs to a paper towel lined platter. Repeat in batches until there are no remaining meatballs. Add meatballs to the cooked sauce and add salt and pepper, to taste. Cook for 10 minutes.
  • For the sauce: Heat olive oil in a large heavy bottomed saucepan. Add garlic and red pepper flakes and cook until fragrant. Add crushed tomatoes and let simmer for 15 minutes. Add dried basil, sugar, salt and pepper.
  • Toss spaghetti and sauce with meatballs in a large serving bowl. Top with grated Parmesan cheese.

This dish was a bit too heavy for my taste. I think I would have liked it more if I had used less cheese.
