Italian Turkey Meatballs & Sauce (Crock Pot or Instant Pot)
An old recipe, but a good one that I just recently updated with some new photos and also a quicker way to cook these meatballs in an Instant Pot too!
This has been a favorite of mine for a long time now. Ridiculously easy? Yep.
This recipe that's a healthy take on an old classic. Flavorful turkey meatballs simmering in thick hearty tomato sauce all day long to cook. Who needs the pre-made bottles off the shelf? Not this girl.
Everything's bigger in Texas, right? I kept the size of these meatballs rather large since I have some fun plans for the leftovers. And the sauce? Oh, yes. The. Sauce. This is amazing stuff right here.
I used whole peeled tomatoes in my version because I just love biting into the chunky pieces of tomato. I'm a tomato lover, can you tell?
Go big or go home.
You can eat this over spaghetti noodles as I did (I used some chickpea based noodles here, but zucchini noodles, whole wheat, etc are fine too!) or this also great over spaghetti squash! Meatballs subs? Sliders?
You. Bet.
