I had a friend and her kids for dinner, and served these meatballs.
Mine were a little dry - probably as a result of too much chatting, which caused dinner to be delayed - but the sauce was delicious, and there was enough left over to have "vegetable stew" for lunch the next day.
VEGETABLE TOMATO SAUCE
1/4 cup olive oil
2 white onions, chopped
2 garlic cloves, chopped
2 red bell peppers, chopped
2 zucchini, grated
2 carrots, grated
1 butternut squash, peeled and chopped
2 teaspoons dried thyme
2 teaspoons dried oregano
1 28 ounce can chopped tomatoes
MEATBALLS
1 pound ground turkey
1/3 cup diced red onion
1/3 cup crumbled feta cheese
2 garlic cloves, crushed
1/2 teaspoon chopped fresh rosemary or basil
To prepare sauce, heat olive oil in a large saucepan over medium heat. Add onion and garlic, saute 5 minutes. Add bell peppers and next 5 ingredients. Cook 10 minutes. Add tomatoes and simmer until butternut squash is tender, about 20 minutes.
Heat oven to 350F.
To prepare the meatballs, mix all ingrdients in a bowl, add some water if mixture is dry. Shape into 12 balls and place on a greased baking sheet. Bake about 25 minutes, until golden brown and thoroughly cooked. Serve with sauce over spaghetti, if desired.
Enjoy!
