Red Wine Meatballs image

My mother-in-law made this all the time and passed on the recipe to me. The wine gives it a wonderful flavour. It is nice served with rice or pasta.

These meatballs are a great way to use up leftover bread. I always have a few slices of stale bread in the freezer and this is a great way to use them up.

I used ground turkey instead of beef and they were still delicious. I also added some chopped mushrooms to the sauce.

These meatballs are a great make-ahead meal. I made them on the weekend and then reheated them during the week for quick and easy dinners.
