Ingredients
>
1 tbsp olive oil
>
1 yellow onion, diced
>
3 cloves garlic, minced
>
2 (28 oz) cans no-salt-added crushed tomatoes
>
4 tsp Italian seasoning, divided
>
1 1/2 lbs ground chicken
>
1 1/2 lbs ground turkey
>
1 1/2 cup quick oats
>
1/4 cup ketchup
>
2 tsp Worcestershire sauce
>
1/2 tsp onion or garlic powder
>
2 large eggs
>
1/4 cup grated Parmesan cheese
Steps
1
In a Dutch oven, heat the oil on medium-high. Add the onion and cook 5–7 min., until translucent, stirring occasionally. Stir in garlic and cook 30 sec. Add crushed tomatoes and 3 tsp Italian seasoning. Season with salt and pepper. Bring to a boil, cover, and reduce heat so tomato sauce simmers.
2
To a large bowl, add the ground chicken, ground turkey, oats, ketchup, Worcestershire sauce, onion powder, eggs, Parmesan, and remaining 1 tsp Italian seasoning. Season well with salt and pepper. Mix until combined.
3
Roll meat mixture into 1-inch balls and add to the simmering sauce. Let meatballs cook in the sauce 15–20 min., until done. Let sauce and meatballs cool; package in containers to refrigerate or freeze until needed.
Tips
Top pasta with meatballs or use them to make a meatball sub sandwich.
