Description

These turkey meatballs are full of flavor and taste great on their own or with pasta.

Ingredients

  • FOR THE MEATBALLS:
  • 1-½ pound Ground Turkey
  • ⅓ cups Italian Style Bread Crumbs
  • ¼ cups Grated Parmesan Cheese
  • ½ teaspoons Pepper
  • 1-½ teaspoon Dried Parsley
  • ½ cups Sun Dried Tomatoes In Their Oil, Chopped
  • 1 whole Egg
  • ½ cups Flour (for Dredging)
  • 2 Tablespoons Olive Oil
  • _____
  • FOR THE SAUCE:
  • 1 Tablespoon Butter
  • 1 Tablespoon Olive Oil
  • 1 Tablespoon Flour
  • 2 cups Chicken Stock
  • ½ cups Heavy Cream
  • 1 Tablespoon Tomato Paste
  • ½ cups Sun Dried Tomatoes In Their Oil, Chopped
  • 1-½ teaspoon Salt
  • ½ teaspoons Pepper

Preparation

For the meatballs:

In a large bowl, combine the ground turkey, bread crumbs, parmesan, pepper, parsley, sun dried tomatoes, and egg. Mix until just combined. Loosely roll into 1 1/2-inch balls. Place in a large baking dish, cover, and chill in the refrigerator to firm up for about an hour.

Preheat the oven to 350 degrees (F).

Once firm, dredge the meatballs in the flour. Heat the oil in a large skillet or pan on medium heat and brown the meatballs. Place the browned meatballs in a large baking dish.

For the sauce:

Leaving the skillet or pan on the stove, add the butter and oil. Whisk in the flour, combining well. Add the chicken stock and cook for 1 minute. Whisk in the the heavy cream. Add the tomato paste, sun dried tomatoes, salt and pepper. Whisk and cook for an additional 2–3 minutes, just enought so the sauce thickens a little. Adjust the seasonings to taste. Pour the sauce over the meatballs and bake in the oven for 30 minutes or until the meatballs are done.

Enjoy!

I thought this was a very yummy recipe! I think I just had the 7oz jar and split it between the two and it was still very tasty. My sauce was really thin so I may have needed to let the sauce boil a bit longer to get a thicker consistency. I think this would be great to do in the crockpot too, just mixing in the cream at the end. Thanks!

Yummy! These are a tasty change for something a little different. I served the meatballs with penne pasta to make it go a little further. A definite hit! I do have a suggestion for others: my grocery store only carried 7 oz. jars of sun-dried tomatoes, and I unfortunately only bought one jar. I definitely needed 2 jars, one for the meat and one for the sauce. That was my mistake of not looking closely enough at the numbers. So note to others, make sure you get enough sun-dried tomatoes!
