Preparation

Step 1

In a large pot over medium heat, simmer a big pot of tomato sauce (you can either make home made or use store bought sauce - either works just fine). You will need about 8-10 cups of sauce (2-3 28 oz. cans of tomatoes if you are making your sauce).

In a large bowl combine turkey, garlic, onion, mushrooms, oat bran, flax seeds, Worcestershire, cheese, nutmeg, egg whites, spinach, salt and pepper. Work it together until everything is well combined. Smell it… maybe you want to give it a hit of red pepper flakes or a shake of Oregano… do what you like… make it yours☺.

Take about two tbsp. of meat mixture and form into a ball about the size of a golf ball you should have 18 meatballs when you're done. Once you form all of your meatballs, one-by-one drop them into the simmering sauce.

Allow them to cook forty-five minutes to an hour…. enjoy!!
