Crock Pot Italian Turkey Meatballs

Crock Pot Italian Turkey Meatballs
1lb 99% lean ground turkey breast
1/4 c whole wheat seasoned breadcrumbs (soaked with milk and squeezed dry)
1/4 c Parmesan cheese, greated
1/4 c parsley, chopped
1 egg
1 large clove garlic, crushed
1 tsp kosher salt + pepper


For the sauce:
1 tsp olive oil
4 cloves garlic, crushed
28oz can crushed tomatoes
1 bay leaf
salt and pepper to taste
1/4 c fresh chopped basil or parsley


Directions:
In a large bowl, combine turkey, breadcrumbs, egg, parsley, garlic and cheese.  Using clean hands, mix all the ingredients.  Use a cookie scoop to form small meatballs, about 1/8 c each.

In a small sauce pan, saute' garlic.  Put in crock pot along with crushed tomatoes, bay leaf, basil and salt and pepper.  Drop meatballs into the sauce, cover and set crock pot to low for 4-6 hours.  We enjoy ours over spaghetti.  YUMMY!!

This was SOOO good, and using the cookie scoop made it so easy to make as well.  I made a double batch and froze the leftovers.
