Ingredients:
Meatballs:
1 Lb Ground Turkey
1 Lb Ground Beef
4 Slices of White Bread, crust removed (put in food
processor to make bread crumbs)
¼ Cup Italian Bread Crumbs
2 Tbsp Parsley, Chopped
½ Cup Grated Parmesan
2 Tsp Salt
½ Tsp Pepper
¼ Tsp Nutmeg
1 Egg
¼ Cup Vegetable Oil
¼ Cup Olive Oil
Sauce:
1 Tbsp Olive Oil
1 Onion, Chopped
1 ½ Tsp Garlic, Minced
½ Cup Red Wine (regular or cooking is fine)
1 (28 oz) Can Crushed Tomatoes
1 Tbsp Parsley, Chopped (Use ½ Tbsp if dried and not fresh)
1 ½ Tsp Salt
½ Tsp Pepper
½ to 1 Tbsp Sugar
Sprinkle of Garlic Powder, Tony Chachere, Italian Seasoning,
Oregano, Basil (optional)
Meatballs: Place both meats, both bread crumbs, parsley,
parmesan, salt, pepper, nutmeg, egg and ¾ cup warm water into a large bowl.
Combine well and form into 2 inch meatballs. You will have 16. You can roll
them smaller if you want more bite sized meatballs.
Add vegetable oil and olive oil to pan. Heat oil and brown
meatballs on all sides over med-low heat. Remove from heat. Add meatballs to
sauce and cook 25-30 minutes.
Sauce: Heat oil and add onions and saute until cooked. Add
garlic and cook another minute or so until soft. Add wine and cook on high
until almost all liquid evaporates about 3 minutes. Stir in tomatoes, parsley,
salt, pepper and sugar. Of course, I typically also use a bunch of other
seasonings like Garlic Powder, Tony Chachere, Italian Seasoning, Oregano, Basil
whatever I have on hand.
Place browned meatballs into sauce and cook on medium-low
for 25-30 minutes until meatballs are fully cooked.
