Turkey Meatballs

I made these at 10PM last week after a super long and busy day. Gregg said he liked it and even ate the leftovers. (I really appreciate my taste tester.)

1 lb lean ground turkey

2 eggs beaten (I used Egg Beaters liquid for 2 eggs)

1/4 large onion, finely chopped

2 cloves of garlic

1 tablespoon dried parsley

1 tablespoon italian seasoning (you could use your own mixture for even healthier)

1 tablespoon red pepper flakes

1 teaspoon onion powder

1 teaspoon garlic powder

Whole wheat spaghetti noodles or pasta of choice. I was even considering meatball subs.

Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Mix all of the ingredients together in a medium sized bowl. (I dug in with my hands.) Roll the meat mixture into 1 inch balls and place on an olive oil or cooking sprayed baking sheet. Heat in the oven for 25 minutes or until cooked through. When the meatballs are cooked, put them into the bowl with your tomato sauce. Let the cool and set in sauce for about 15 minutes. I served with whole wheat spaghetti noodles. 

While those are cooking make your homemade tomato sauce. 

(I honestly would double the sauce recipe if I make it again because there didn't seem to be enough extra sauce for my pasta.) -------> These ingredient measurements are the original, not doubled. 

2 cups of unsweetened organic tomato sauce

2 cloves of minced garlic

1 teaspoon garlic powder

1 teaspoon onion powder

1 tablespoon dried parsley

Heat the minced garlic in a medium sized pot over medium heat. After about 5 minutes add remaining ingredients and stir together. Cook over medium heat for 10 minutes stirring occasionally.
