Steps:
- Make the sauce: In a large nonstick skillet, heat oil over medium-high heat. Add garlic, and cook about 1 minute. Stir in tomatoes, oregano, and thyme, and season with salt and pepper. Bring to a boil, lower heat, and simmer, covered, 20 to 25 minutes.
- Make the meatballs: In a large bowl, whisk together egg, milk, 1 1/4 teaspoons salt, and 1/4 teaspoon pepper with a fork. Stir in onion, breadcrumbs, cheese, and parsley. Add turkey, and mix until combined. Form mixture into 1 1/2-inch balls.
- Add meatballs to skillet, and spoon sauce over to coat. Place over medium heat until meatballs are just cooked through, about 8 minutes.
- Cook spaghetti until al dente according to package instructions, about 12 minutes. Drain pasta, transfer to skillet, and toss gently with the sauce. Serve with more cheese.
SPAGHETTI AND TURKEY MEATBALLS
Lean ground turkey has just enough fat to give the meatballs some flavor, but little enough to keep them healthful. (Ground turkey breast results in dry meatballs, and regular ground turkey is higher in calories than lean ground beef.) Use a small ice-cream scoop to form the meatballs. Leftovers should be stored in sauce--and served as meatballs heroes.

Steps:
- Bring a large pot of lightly salted water to boil. Add the pasta and cook according to package directions. Drain.
- Meanwhile, combine the turkey, breadcrumbs, Parmesan, egg, oregano, thyme and salt in a large bowl and mix thoroughly. Form into 1 1/2-inch meatballs; a small ice-cream scoop makes short work of forming the meatballs and prevents the mixture from getting overworked.
- Heat the oil in a deep skillet over medium-high heat. Add the meatballs in a single layer (work in batches if necessary) and brown lightly on all sides, about 6 minutes. Pour in the sauce and simmer gently for 15 minutes.
- To serve, place spaghetti on each plate and ladle sauce and meatballs over the top. Sprinkle with chopped fresh herbs if desired.

TURKEY MEATBALLS IN TOMATO SAUCE
Tender meatballs filled with onions and Parmesan, bathed in plenty of tomato sauce, are classics in every way except for one: They call for turkey instead of the usual beef (or beef-veal-pork combination). Serve them over spaghetti or polenta, or stuff them into a hero roll for a sandwich. Try to use ground dark meat turkey here if you can, it has a deeper, richer flavor than ground white meat.

Steps:
- In a large bowl, combine cheese, bread crumbs, onion, chives, garlic, salt, pepper, oregano and red pepper flakes, if using, and mix well. Add turkey and egg and blend with your hands until well mixed. If you've got time, cover mixture and chill for an hour or up to 24 hours. These are easiest to form into balls while very cold. Form into 28 meatballs, each about 1 1/4-inches in diameter.
- Heat 2 tablespoons of the oil in a large sauté pan. When hot, add enough of the meatballs to fit in one layer without crowding, and brown on all sides, 5 to 8 minutes. Transfer to a plate, add another tablespoon of oil to pan and brown another layer of meatballs, transferring them to the plate as they brown. Repeat until all meatballs are browned, adding more oil to the pan as needed.
- When meatballs are all browned, add marinara sauce to pan and bring to a simmer, scraping up the browned bits on the pan bottom. Return meatballs and their juices to pan, shake pan to cover the meatballs with sauce, and lower heat. Partly cover pan and simmer until the meatballs are cooked through, 15 to 20 minutes.
- Serve hot, drizzled with more olive oil and sprinkled with more cheese, if you like.

To make meatballs that are moist and tender, avoid using very lean ground turkey. For convenience, make a batch of sauce and meatballs ahead and freeze for up to three months.

Steps:
- Make the sauce: In a large nonstick skillet, heat the oil over medium-high heat. Add the garlic, and cook for about 1 minute. Stir in the tomatoes, oregano, and thyme, and season with salt and pepper. Bring to a boil, lower the heat, and simmer, covered, for 20 to 25 minutes.
- Meanwhile, make the meatballs: In a large bowl, whisk together the egg, milk, 1 1/4 teaspoons salt, and 1/4 teaspoon pepper with a fork. Stir in the onion, breadcrumbs, cheese, and parsley. Add the turkey, and mix until combined. Form the mixture into 1 1/2-inch balls.
- Add the meatballs to the skillet, and spoon the sauce over to coat. Simmer over medium heat until the meatballs are just cooked through, about 8 minutes.
- While the meatballs simmer, cook the spaghetti in a large pot of boiling salted water until al dente according to the package instructions. Drain the pasta, transfer to the skillet, and toss gently with the meatballs and sauce. Serve with more cheese.
- Keeping your hands wet when shaping meatballs will prevent the meat from sticking, making the task much easier.

Steps:
- Heat large pot or dutch oven on medium heat. Once pot is heated, add oil. Lower heat and add chopped onion, stir then sprinkle with healthy pinch of kosher salt. Heat for 2minutes then add minced garlic and stir. Cook for one minute being careful not to burn and add sliced mushrooms, celery and diced green pepper, stir. Add spices and stir. Once vegetables are tender add tomato sauce and stir. Add bay leaf. Simmer. Add 2 tbsps balsamic vinegar and a generous splash of red wine. Continue to simmer, stirring to ensure that sauce is not sticking to bottom of pan. Reduce heat if necessary.
- To make the meatballs.
- In a medium bowl add Italian bread crumbs, dried basil, oregano, garlic powder, onion powder, season salt and black pepper. Stir and add minced lean turkey. Mix well but try not to handle too much to keep them tender. Form into balls and drop into sauce. Ensure meat balls are covered in sauce. Simmer and stir carefully until done, a good 2 hours. Ensure that sauce does not burn to bottom of pot. Add chicken broth or water if sauce becomes too thick. Once meat balls are cooked, taste sauce and add more salt, seasoning and/or cayenne pepper to taste.
- I have found, depending on thickness of pot the sauce will sometimes be very thick. When I make at home I often have to add cups of liquid to the sauce, but it is dependent upon personal preference.
