Spaghetti And Turkey Meatballs Recipes

SPAGHETTI WITH TURKEY MEATBALLS

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.

TURKEY MEATBALLS IN TOMATO SAUCE

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.

SPAGHETTI SAUCE WITH TURKEY MEATBALLS

Steps:

• Combine parsley, onion, garlic, and red pepper paste in the bowl of a food processor; process until finely blended. Transfer to a large bowl. Add turkey, basil, thyme, cumin, cinnamon, allspice, salt, and pepper; mix until thoroughly combined. Form mixture into uniformly-sized meatballs.
• Heat oil in a large saucepan over medium-low heat. Add meatballs, working in batches if necessary, and saute until browned on all sides, 2 to 3 minutes per side. Remove to a plate.
• Add 4 cups water, spaghetti sauce, diced tomatoes, and tomato paste to the saucepan; mix to combine. Add more water if sauce seems too thick. Drop meatballs into sauce and cook over medium-low heat until flavors have melded, about 1 hour.

SPAGHETTI AND TURKEY MEATBALLS

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.

SPAGHETTI AND TURKEY MEATBALLS

Steps:

• Put the turkey mince into a bowl and add the grated onion, 1 of the grated garlic cloves, the fennel seeds, chilli flakes and lots of seasoning, and mix really well. Form into 16 balls.
• Heat the olive oil in a large non-stick frying pan and fry the meatballs, in batches, for 3-4 minutes or until golden all over. Scoop out onto a plate.
• Add the finely chopped onion, remaining garlic clove and a generous splash of water, and cook for 5-10 minutes or until the onion has softened. Tip in the chopped tomatoes and simmer for 15 minutes, then use a hand blender to whizz until smooth. Return the meatballs and simmer for 10 minutes until cooked through.
• Cook the spaghetti following pack instructions in a large pan of boiling salted water, then drain, reserving some of the cooking liquid.
• Tip the spaghetti into the pan, toss with the sauce and meatballs, and divide between plates. Scatter over the basil and parmesan before serving.

SPAGHETTI AND TURKEY MEATBALLS

Steps:

• For the turkey meatballs: Add the oats to a food processor and pulse a few times. The consistency should resemble breadcrumbs. Add the oats and milk to a small bowl and set aside for 5 minutes.
• Add the onions, spinach, Parmesan, salt, pepper, garlic and egg to a large bowl and mix well. Add the oat mixture and combine. Lastly, add the turkey and gently fold into the wet mixture. Keep the mixture light by not over-mixing. Form into bite-size balls using a small cookie scoop for uniform meatballs.
• Heat 4 tablespoons of the oil in a large Dutch oven over medium heat. Add half of the meatballs and brown on all sides, 5 to 7 minutes. Remove and repeat with the second batch, adding more oil if needed. Set the meatballs aside but reserve the Dutch oven for the sauce.
• For the quick marinara sauce: Add the tomatoes, tomato paste, oregano, salt, pepper and garlic to the Dutch oven and stir. Bring to a boil. Reduce the heat, cover and let simmer for about 10 minutes. Gently add the browned meatballs to the sauce. Do not overcrowd. Simmer until the meatballs are cooked thoroughly, another 10 to 15 minutes. If making the optional spicy version, add the red wine and chile flakes in the last 2 minutes of cooking.
• Bring a large pot of water to a boil. Season with a generous pinch of salt. Add the spaghetti and cook until al dente, about 8 minutes.
• Combine some of the sauce with the cooked spaghetti. Plate the spaghetti and meatballs and add the remaining sauce over everything. Garnish with parsley, basil and grated Parmesan. Serve hot.

SPAGHETTI AND TURKEY MEATBALLS WITH PARMESAN, KALE & TOMATOES

Steps:

• • Wash and dry all produce. • Remove any large stems from kale; roughly chop leaves. Dice tomatoes. Zest and quarter lemon. • Halve meatballs*.
• • Heat 1 TBSP butter in a large, wide pot over medium-high heat. (TIP: Use a pot or pan as wide as the spaghetti is long-ideally 11 inches or wider.) Add meatballs and cook, turning occasionally, until browned all over, 3-4 minutes. Transfer to a plate. • Return same pot to medium-high heat with a drizzle of oil. Add kale and season with salt and pepper. Cook, stirring occasionally, until tender, 5-7 minutes. Transfer to plate with meatballs.
• • Melt 1 TBSP butter in same pot over medium-high heat. Add garlic powder and half the Tuscan Heat Spice (all for 4 servings); cook until fragrant, 30 seconds. • Stir in tomatoes, cream sauce base, 2 cups water, and ½ tsp salt (3 cups water and 1 tsp salt for 4). TIP: Cut top off carton of cream sauce to open fully; transfer contents, using a spoon or spatula to scrape sauce from carton sides.
• • Add spaghetti to pot with sauce; lay noodles as flat as possible (they should be mostly submerged in liquid). (TIP: Break noodles in half if your pot isn't wide enough for them to lay flat.) Bring to a boil, then reduce heat to medium low. • Simmer, stirring occasionally and making sure noodles stay submerged, 15 minutes. (At this point, spaghetti should be malleable but not yet fully cooked; sauce will be slightly thickened.)
• • Once spaghetti has cooked 15 minutes, return meatballs and kale to pot. Cook, stirring, until spaghetti is al dente and sauce has thickened and coats noodles, 3-5 minutes more. (TIP: If sauce thickens too much before pasta is tender, add splashes of water as needed.) Remove pot from heat.
• • Taste and season pasta with salt and pepper. Stir in lemon zest and a big squeeze of lemon juice to taste. • Divide pasta between bowls and top with Parmesan. Serve with any remaining lemon wedges on the side.

• Heat the olive oil in a large saucepan over medium heat. Add the smashed garlic and cook 1 minute.
