Turkey Meatballs with Tomato Sauce & Noodles

Ingredients
  • 1 Tbs extra virgin olive oil
  • 3 cloves garlic, peeled
  • Red pepper flakes
  • 26 oz diced tomatoes with juice
  • 1 medium shallot, finely chopped
  • 4 fresh sage leaves, minced
  • 4 large basil leaves, minced
  • ¼ cup Italian parsley, minced
  • 1 pound ground dark turkey
  • ½ tsp sea salt
  • ½ tsp fresh ground black pepper
  • 1 bag buckwheat noodles (I like Orgran, available at Whole Foods)
Instructions
  1. Tomato Sauce: place medium Dutch oven over medium heat. Add olive oil. When oil is warm, add garlic and red pepper flakes. Cook until garlic sizzles, 3-5 minutes. Add tomato sauce and bring to simmer.
  2. Meatballs: Combine shallot, minced herbs, turkey, salt and pepper in a medium bowl. Gently mix until just combined. Using wet hands, make 1-inch meatballs. Place 8-10 meatballs on a large plate and microwave for 2 minutes. Remove meatballs from plate, add to tomato sauce and cover sauce. Drain grease from plate and repeat with remaining turkey mixture.
  3. Noodles: bring large pot of water to boil. Follow directions on package – buckwheat noodles often need to be rinsed after cooking to prevent them from sticking. After rinsing, add teaspoon of olive oil and toss noodles.
  4. Simmer meatballs in sauce for 20 minutes. Remove meatballs to serving bowl and keep warm while you puree tomato sauce, either using an immersion blender or in a blender – be careful transferring, the sauce will be hot. Taste sauce for seasoning.
  5. Serve over buckwheat noodles and sprinkle with grated parmesan cheese.
