Spaghetti and Turkey-Sausage Meatballs With Raisins

This is my idea of comfort food. I can have turkey meatballs everyday and not get tired at all. I love meatballs and you will be seeing plenty of versions in the future posts.

Ingredients:

• 1 1/2 pound hot Italian turkey sausage
• Angel hair Pasta - As required
  
• 1 1/2 pound ground turkey
• 2 cups fresh breadcrumbs (I grind 3-4 stale bread slices to make this)
• 1 whole egg
• 1 teaspoon crushed red pepper
• salt
• 1/2 - 1 tbsp pepper
• 1/2 - 1 cup raisins
• 2 tbsp olive oil
• 6 cloves garlic, grated
• 1 medium onion, chopped
• 1/2 cup Parmesan cheese
• 2 tablespoons fresh chopped parsley
• 1 26-oz jar of pasta sauce, any brand

Procedure:

• In a large bowl mix ground turkey, sausage, breadcrumbs, egg, cheese,parsley, crushed red pepper, raisins, garlic,
• onion,salt and pepper. Mix, but do not overmix. Shape them into lemon sized meatballs and set aside.
• In a pan, add the olive oil and shallow cook the meatballs in batches until its golden on the outside.
• Drain on paper-lined plate.
• In a large pan add the pasta sauce, drop the meatballs and cook for about 20minutes on low flame until its thoroughly cooked.
• Spoon the sauce and meatballs on the top of Spaghetti and serve hot.

Makes ~24 meatballs.

Enjoy!
