SLOW COOKER MEATBALLS IN TOMATO SAUCE

Steps:

• Cover and cook: Secure the lid to your slow cooker and let it cook for as little as 5 hours on high or as many as 8 to 10 hours on low.
• Serve: Serve these over spaghetti, on a hoagie bun for a meatball sandwich, or as a party appetizer on their own. If you want to thicken the sauce, you can transfer it to a skillet set over medium-high heat and reduce it until it reaches your desired consistency.

TURKEY MEATBALLS IN TOMATO SAUCE (CROCKPOT) RECIPE - (5/5)

Steps:

• Combine tomato sauce, garlic powder, thyme, and water in slow cooker. In medium bowl, combine turkey, rice, onion, salt, and pepper, mixing well. Shape into balls about the size of golf balls. Place meatballs in tomato mixture in slow cooker. Cover and cook on LOW 7-8 hours or until rice is tender.

TURKEY MEATBALLS IN TOMATO SAUCE

Steps:

• Put the peeled onion and celery into a processor and blitz to a mush. Or you can chop as finely as humanly possible by hand. Reserve 2 tablespoons for the meatball mixture.
• Warm the garlic flavoured oil in a heavy saucepan or Dutch oven, add the onion and celery mixture, along with the thyme, and cook at moderate to low heat, stirring every now and again, for about 10 minutes.
• Add the cans of tomato, filling up each empty can with water to add to the pan. Season with the sugar, salt and pepper, stir and then leave to come to a bubble, and then turn down to let it simmer gently while you get on with the meatballs.
• Put all the ingredients for the meatballs, including the reserved chopped onion and celery, and salt according to preference, into a large bowl and mix together, gently, with your hands, wearing disposable vinyl gloves if you feel so inclined. Don't over-mix, as that will make the meatballs dense-textured and heavy.
• When all the meatball ingredients are not too officiously amalgamated, start rolling. The easiest way really to do this is to pinch out an amount about the size of a generously heaped teaspoon and roll into a bowl between the palms of your hands. Put the meatballs on a baking tray, lined with baking parchment or greaseproof paper, as you go. You should get about 50 little meatballs.
• Drop these gently into the simmering sauce; I try and let these fall in concentric circles working around the pan from the outside edge inwards, in only the vaguest of fashions.
• Let the meatballs cook for 30 minutes, until cooked through. Serve with rice or pasta or however you so please.

CROCKPOT TURKEY MEATBALLS

Steps:

• Beat the egg in a large mixing bowl. Add the ground turkey, breadcrumbs, 1 Tablespoons olive oil, parmesan, garlic, oregano, basil, salt, and pepper in a large bowl. Mix everything up just so the ingredients are combined - avoid overmixing. Roll into desired size balls - mine were slightly larger than a golfball. Some people prefer them larger, some prefer them smaller. Place all rolled meatballs on a large baking sheet.
• Place onion slices in the bottom of the crockpot, topped with 1/2 can of crushed tomatoes.
• Coat a large skillet with remaining 1/2 Tablespoon of olive oil and bring to medium-high heat. Lightly brown the meatballs (only 6-8 meatballs at a time) for about 1 minute on each side. Do not skip this step - read above for why. Layer the meatballs into the crockpot as you're browning each batch. Once all browned meatballs have been added to the crockpot, pour remaining can of tomatoes on top.
• Cover and cook on low for 6-6.5 hours. Serve with pasta, as meatball subs, plain, etc. No matter how I serve them, I always top with a little chopped fresh basil. Store leftovers covered tightly in the refrigerator for up to 1 week.

TURKEY MEATBALLS IN PAPRIKA TOMATO SAUCE

Steps:

• In a large skillet, heat the olive oil over medium heat. Add the onions, celery and garlic and cook, stirring often, until softened, 7 minutes. Transfer 1 1/3 cups of the onion mixture to a large bowl; let cool. Reserve the skillet.
• Using a food processor, puree the tomatoes and red peppers. Add the puree to the skillet and bring to a boil over medium heat. Stir in the paprika and season with salt and pepper; transfer to a large slow cooker, cover and set to low temperature.
• Whisk the bread crumbs, egg, 1/2 teaspooon salt and 1/4 teaspoon pepper into the remaining onion mixture. Mix in the turkey. Form 1 1/2 inch meatballs. Add the meatballs to the slow cooker. Cover and cook on low heat for 6 hours.

SPAGHETTI WITH TURKEY MEATBALLS IN TOMATO SAUCE

Steps:

• Heat two tablespoons of olive oil in a large Dutch oven over medium heat. Add the onion and cook for about eight minutes sweating it without giving it too much color. When it's soft, add the garlic and fennel seeds and season generously with salt and pepper (about a teaspoon of salt and a half teaspoon of pepper should do). Saute for an additional three or four minutes. Remove and reserve half of this onion mixture in a large mixing bowl. Add the tomatoes and their juice to the remaining mixture in the pot, turn the heat to low and simmer while you make the meatballs. be sure to put a little water in the tomato sauce can and swish it around and add it to the pot (don't want to waste a bit!).
• To make the meatballs, combine the breadcrumbs, lemon zest, parsley, thyme and rosemary with the reserved onion mixture. Add the turkey and egg and mush it all with your hands (the best tool for this job) just until everything is well-combined; don't over mix. Form the mixture into 1-1/2 inch balls with your hands (of course you can make them whatever size you like). Heat the last two tablespoons of olive oil in a large nonstick skillet over medium-high heat. Making sure not to overcrowd the pan, brown the meatballs (should take about five minutes). Put the browned meatballs into the simmering tomato sauce and let them cook, shaking the pot occasionally to roll the meatballs around, for at least 20 minutes and up to an hour and a half. Taste the sauce and season with salt and pepper. Serve with spaghetti and the torn basil.
