I had this really yummy lunch at Whole Foods a few weeks ago and haven't been able to get it out of my head. So I finally decided to try and recreate it! It was turkey meatballs, mashed potatoes, and these really great roasted veggies that I'll share a recipe for soon. Complete comfort food and oh so yummy! I decided to try making the meatballs in the crock pot and found a few recipes online to base them off of. These were amazing, so so tasty and the sauce was really flavorful after the meatballs cooked in it all day!
Crock Pot Italian Turkey Meatballs
based off of Skinny Taste
mine yielded 14 meatballs (I would totally double this recipe if I were you!)
meatballs:
1 lb ground turkey breast 93% lean
1/4 cup seasoned breadcrumbs 1/4 cup parmesan, grated
1/4 cup fresh italian parsley, finely chopped
1 egg
2 teaspoons dried basil
1 teaspoon dried oregano
1/2 teaspoon onion powder
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/2 teaspoon pepper
sauce:
3 cloves garlic, minced
1 small onion, diced
1 tsp kosher salt + fresh pepper
28 oz cans crushed tomatoes
1/4 cup fresh chopped parsley
In a large bowl, combine ground turkey, breadcrumbs, parmesan, parsley, egg, and seasonings. Using clean hands, mix all the ingredients and form small meatballs without packing them too tight so they stay tender. I got 14 meatballs.
Pour crushed tomatoes into the crock pot with garlic, onion, parsley, and salt & pepper. Drop meatballs into the sauce, cover and set crock pot to low, 4 to 6 hours. (Mine were perfect after 4 hours.)
