Time 25m

Yield 4 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 16

salt
1 1/2 lbs ground turkey
1 tablespoon McCormick's Montreal Brand steak seasoning
1 teaspoon fennel seed
1/4 cup sun-dried tomato (not the ones in oil)
1 cup fresh basil, divided
2 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil, plus some to drizzle
4 garlic cloves, minced
1 medium onion, finely chopped
1/2 teaspoon crushed red pepper flakes
1 (28 ounce) can crushed tomatoes
1 (8 ounce) can tomato sauce
pepper
1 lb gnocchi
1/2 cup parmigiano-reggiano cheese, grated
crusty bread

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 400 degrees.
  • Place turkey in a large bowl with grill seasoning and fennel seeds.
  • Pile sun-dried tomatoes on top of each other in small stacks then slice into thin strips. Coarsely chop the thin strips and add to bowl.
  • Stack the basil leaves together then roll them up into a log. Shred the basil by thinly slicing the log. Add half the basil to the bowl.
  • Drizzle some olive oil over the bowl.
  • Mix turkey together, roll into 1 1/2-inch meatballs and arrange on a nonstick cookie sheet. Bake at 400 degrees for 10-12 minutes or until firm and lightly golden.
  • Bring a pot of water to a boil for the gnocchi.
  • While the water is coming to a boil, heat a large skillet over medium heat. To the hot skillet, add 2 T olive oil, garlic, onion and red pepper flakes. Cook until tender, about 5-6 minutes.
  • Add crushed tomatoes, tomato sauce and season with salt and pepper.
  • Drop gnocchi into pot of boiling water and cook 5 minutes (or to package directions.).
  • Stir remaining basil into sauce to wilt it.
  • Drain gnocchi and arrange on a platter. Remove meatballs from oven and add to gnocchi, equally distributing them. Sprinkle cheese over the meatballs and gnocchi then top with sauce.
  • Serve with bread.
  • Note: The tomato sauce is very basic. Feel free to add additional spices.

I'm not a fan of meatballs, but these were actually pretty good. The turkey was moist and flavorful, and the tomato sauce was delicious. I served them over rice and it was a great meal. I would definitely make these meatballs again.

These meatballs were a bit dry for my taste. I think I should have added more liquid to the meatball mixture. The tomato sauce was also a bit bland. I added some Italian seasoning and garlic powder to it, and it was much better. Overall, this recipe

I made these meatballs for a party and they were a huge success. Everyone loved them! I used ground chicken instead of turkey, and they were still very moist and flavorful. The tomato sauce was also very good. I will definitely be making these again.
