Ingredients
-
¾ cup chopped fresh parsley
-
1 medium white onion, diced
-
4 cloves garlic, minced
-
1 tablespoon red pepper paste
-
1 ½ pounds lean ground turkey
-
2 teaspoons dried basil
-
2 teaspoons dried thyme
-
1 teaspoon ground cumin
-
1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
-
1 teaspoon ground allspice, or more to taste
-
1 pinch salt and ground black pepper to taste
-
2 tablespoons oil
Sauce:
-
4 cups water, or more as needed
-
1 (28 ounce) jar spaghetti sauce
-
1 (14.5 ounce) can fire-roasted diced tomatoes
-
1 (6 ounce) can tomato paste
Directions
-
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.
