Time 1h30m

Yield 8 to 10 servings

Number Of Ingredients 13

6 slices Texas toast
1 cup milk
1 1/2 pounds ground turkey
1 1/2 pounds ground sausage
2 cups finely grated Parmesan
1/4 cup minced fresh parsley, plus more for garnish
5 cloves garlic, minced
1 large onion, finely diced
Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper
Olive oil, for frying
4 cups store-bought marinara
2 1/4 pounds bucatini, cooked, for serving
12 fresh basil leaves, chopped

Steps:

  • Soak the Texas toast in the milk in a shallow bowl for 10 minutes.
  • Add the turkey, sausage, Parmesan, parsley, garlic, onion and some salt and pepper to a bowl. Add the Texas toast and milk. Mix together (the bread will get broken up as it mixes) and form 3 oversized balls.
  • Heat some oil over medium heat in a small Dutch oven. Add the meatballs and carefully brown/sear the surface, moving them around to keep their shape. The meatballs should be somewhat crowded in the small pot.
  • Pour in the marinara and add water if needed to cover. Bring to a simmer, cover and simmer, carefully turning the meatballs halfway through, until cooked through, about an hour.
  • To serve: Plate up the bucatini and top with the sauce and meatballs. Garnish with parsley and basil.

I've never been a big fan of meatballs, but these are amazing. They're so moist and flavorful, and the sauce is to die for.

I love the combination of flavors in these meatballs. The sweetness of the cranberries and the tanginess of the sauce are a perfect match.

These meatballs are a great way to get kids to eat their vegetables. They're so tasty that they won't even notice the hidden veggies.

I love that this recipe can be made in the slow cooker. It's so easy to just throw everything in and let it cook all day.
