Ingredients
2 slices whole grain bread, Oroweat Health Nut®
11⁄3 cups organic chicken broth, Swanson®
11⁄2 pounds ground uncooked turkey breast
1 cup frozen chopped onions, thawed, Ore-Ida®
1 tablespoon low-sodium chili seasoning, McCormick®
1 teaspoon ground cinnamon, McCormick®
1 teaspoon black and red pepper blend, McCormick®
1 jar (25.5-ounce) organic Italian herb pasta sauce, Muir Glen®
Hot cooked brown rice (optional)
Fresh flat-leaf parsley, chopped (optional)
Directions
Tear bread into pieces; place in a food processor or blender. Cover and process or blend until fine crumbs form. Transfer to a bowl and stir in 1⁄3 cup of the chicken broth; set aside.
In a large bowl, combine turkey, onions, chili seasoning, cinnamon, and pepper blend. Add soaked bread crumbs. With clean hands, thoroughly combine ingredients. Wet hands to keep mixture from sticking. Shape mixture into thirty-two 1-inch meatballs; set aside.
In a large skillet, combine pasta sauce and the remaining 1 cup of broth. Bring to a boil over medium-high heat, stirring occasionally.
Carefully add meatballs, one at a time. Return to a boil, using a large spoon to turn meatballs. Reduce heat to medium-low; simmer for 15 minutes.
Serve meatballs over hot cooked rice (optional). Garnish with parsley (optional).
