Description

This delicious comfort meal is on the table in only forty five minutes!

Ingredients

  • 1 can Whole Tomatoes In Juice (28 Ounces)
  • 1 teaspoon Dried Oregano
  • 2 cloves Garlic, Minced
  • 1-½ teaspoon Salt, Divided
  • ½ cups Milk
  • ½ cups Panko Breadcrumbs
  • 1-½ pound Lean Ground Turkey
  • ¼ teaspoons Red Pepper Flakes
  • 1 whole Shallot, Minced

Preparation

Puree your tomatoes in a food processor or blender until smooth. Pour into a large Dutch oven or heavy saucepot and bring to a simmer with the oregano, garlic and a half teaspoon of the salt. Let simmer for about twenty minutes to thicken.

Combine the milk and breadcrumbs in a small bowl and let stand for five minutes.

In a large bowl, combine the turkey, a teaspoon of salt, red pepper flakes, minced shallot and the soaked breadcrumbs. Mix well with your hands and form small balls.

Bake the meatballs at 375F for twenty minutes. Once done, drop into tomato sauce to get them nice and coated and serve plain or with pasta!

I am teaching my kids how to cook and we picked this recipe for dinner last night. I picked it above others because it was so simple and I am pleased to say that it turned out soooo good! Thanks for sharing!

These meatballs are wonderfully versatile! Made the meatballs and we ate them in wraps with lettuce, red onion, and bell peppers. Yum! I quadrupled the recipe for freezer leftovers.

I made these tonight for our family and my four year old loved them! Great recipe for ground turkey which, I also, struggle to make taste good. Everyone was pleased with this one!
