Categories     turkey     Bake     Low Carb     Quick & Easy     Casserole/Gratin     Winter

Number Of Ingredients 11

2 tbsp extra-virgin olive oil
4 ripe tomatoes, diced
1/4 tsp ground cumin
1/2 tsp salt
1/4 tsp freshly ground black pepper (I used more)
1 pound ground turkey
1 slice of bread
4 cloves garlic, minced or pressed
1/4 tsp ground cumin
3/4 tsp salt
1/2 tsp freshly ground black pepper

Steps:

  • Meatballs: Preheat oven to 350°F. Spray a glass baking dish with oil. In a small bowl, add the ground beef, garlic, cumin, salt and pepper. Wet the slice of bread and squeeze out all the water. Crumble into the beef mixture. Mix with your hands until combined. Shape the meat into ovals that are 2 inches long and place on the prepared baking dish. Bake 30 minutes. While the meatballs are baking make the tomato sauce. Tomato Sauce: In a dutch oven, heat the oil over medium heat. Add the tomatoes, cumin, salt and pepper. Cook for 5-7 minutes until tomatoes have broken down, stirring occasionally. Reduce heat to low and simmer for 15-20 minutes, or until sauce has thickened. Once the meatballs are done, immediately add them to the tomato sauce with all the juices. Gently stir and cook on low for 5 minutes. Garnish with some chopped cilantro or parsley (optional). Serve with rice or some crusty bread.

These meatballs were a bit too spicy for my taste, but my husband loved them. I would make them again, but I would use less chili powder.

These meatballs were a bit dry, but the flavor was good. I think I would add more moisture to the meat mixture next time.

The sauce was a bit too tangy for my taste, but the meatballs themselves were very good. I would definitely make this again, but I would adjust the sauce to my liking.

These meatballs were amazing! I couldn't believe how easy they were to make, and they tasted like they came from a restaurant. I will definitely be making these again.
