Ingredients
  • 1 egg
  • 1 teaspoon crushed red pepper flakes
  • 1 tablespoon italian seasonings (or a combination of dried oregano, thyme and rosemary)
  • 1 clove garlic, minced
  • 1/2 cup grated parmesan
  • 1 pound ground turkey
  • 1/2 small yellow onion, diced finely
  • salt and pepper, to taste
  • 1 15-ounce can tomato sauce
  • 1 tablespoon italian seasonings (or a combination of dried oregano, thyme and rosemary)
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 tablespoon crushed red pepper flakes
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil
  • 1/2 small yellow onion, diced
Directions
  1. Preheat the oven to 350°F and line a baking sheet with tin foil.
  2. In a large bowl, mix the ground turkey, onion, garlic, Parmesan, Italian seasonings, crushed red pepper and egg until just combined. Roll the mixture into golf ball-sized pieces, and place on the baking sheet 2 inches apart.
  3. Bake for 30 minutes, flipping the meatballs halfway.
  4. While the meatballs are baking, make the dipping sauce: in a large saucepan, heat the oil on medium-high. Saute the onion and garlic until softened, stirring occasionally, 10-12 minutes. Add the crushed red pepper, Italian seasonings, tomato sauce, salt and pepper. Bring to a boil, then simmer for 20-25 minutes, until the sauce has thickened slightly.
  5. Once the meatballs are done, place toothpicks in each. Serve with the dipping sauce.
