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.

MOZZARELLA-STUFFED PESTO TURKEY MEATBALLS
I came up with this recipe for a recipe contest, and it's been a family favorite ever since. For a lighter version, omit stuffing the meatballs with mozzarella cheese. Serve with your choice of pasta.

Steps:
- Preheat an oven to 375 degrees F (190 degrees C).
- Place the ground turkey, onion, garlic, egg, bread crumbs, Parmigiano-Reggiano cheese, parsley, pesto, milk, salt, and black pepper in a bowl. Mix until evenly blended, then form into 1 3/4-inch meatballs. Make a hole in the meatball with your finger and place a cheese cube in the hole. Seal the meatball around the cheese and place on a nonstick baking sheet. Drizzle the olive oil over the meatballs.
- Bake in the preheated oven until the meatballs are no longer pink in the center, about 30 minutes. Heat the marinara sauce in a saucepan over low heat. Bring to a simmer, and place the baked meatballs in the marinara sauce for about 2 minutes.

Steps:
- For the tomato sauce heat the oil in a decent sized saucepan. When the oil is hot enough add the onion, pepper and garlic. Stir this mixture and cook for a few minutes on a medium heat till it has all softened and the onions are almost see-through. Then add the mushrooms and cook for a few minutes more.
- Now add the tinned tomatoes, tomato puree, herbs, salt & pepper, wine and oxo cube. Don't worry about pour the wine in after the tinned tommatoes as there is no need to bubble off the alcohol in a dry pan as simmering the sauce later will do this anyway.
- Bring the sauce to the boil and then simmer for 1/2 an hour to an hour. Keep the lid off of the pan till the sauce as thickened up enough for you, when you can then put the lid back on. If the sauce is too dry at any point add some water. Stir occasionally to check that the sauce isn't sticking to the pan and that it isn't too dry.
- For the meatballs, soak the breadcrumbs in the wine for 5 minutes. While this is happening use the time to check the sauce and preheat the oven to 125C (in a non fan assisted oven)
- Add to the breadcrumbs the minced meat, mixed herbs, parmesan, pepper and egg. Mix this all up with your hands.
- Split this meat mixture into 30 - 40 meatballs roughly. With each meatball flatten it out roughly in one hand, add a cube of mozzarella and shape the meatball so that the mozzarella is sealed inside each one.
- When the meatballs are all rounded, heat the oil in a frying pan to brown and seal the meatballs in batches. When browned, add the meatballs to an oven dish.
- Put the meatballs in the oven for 25-30 minutes, and mix them around 1/2 way through so that they all cook evenly.
- When you take them out, cut a fat one open just to check that they are cooked all the way through. If not quite completely cooked pop back in the oven for 5 more minutes.
- Serve this with spaghetti. You can either stir the pasta, sauce and meatballs all together and serve, or you can add the sauce to the meatballs in the oven dish, sprinkle with grated cheese and bake for 5 minutes more, till the cheese has melted. Be aware that the quantity of meatballs for this recipe will serve more people than the sauce will, so you can put any leftover meatballs in the fridge for another day :)
