Turkey Meatballs with Bruschetta Sauce
Have I got a delicious, healthy dinner for you today!
Okay, so now that we have the pan liner covered, let’s get to these meatballs. Hubs and I are trying to eat healthier. You know, if we eat a healthy dinner then we can have dessert, right?
This is a flavorful dish. You can certainly serve it with pasta, but we enjoy it with a big salad. And, the leftovers are delicious! The homemade bruschetta is amazing.
So take a bite. Then have some dessert! What? A girl has got to have her sweets!
Turkey Meatballs with Bruschetta Sauce
Ingredients
For the meatballs:
- 1 lb ground turkey
- 1 egg
- 1/2 cup plain breadcrumbs
- 2 Tbsp Italian Seasoning
- 3 Tbsp grated parmesan cheese
- 1/2 tsp garlic powder
- 1/2 tsp kosher salt
- 6 cranks fresh ground black pepper
For the Sauce:
- 15oz can tomato sauce
- 5 large Roma tomatoes, diced
- 2 big handfuls basil, snipped
- 4-5 cloves garlic, chopped
- 1/2 tsp red wine vinegar
- 1 tsp kosher salt
- 6 cranks fresh ground black pepper
- 2 Tbsp grated parmesan cheese
Instructions
- In large bowl, mix together the meatball ingredients until combined evenly (I use my hands). Roll into 25 balls (about 1 1/2-2 inches). Space evenly on prepared baking sheet. Bake in a 375 degree oven for 20 minutes.
- While baking, mix all sauce ingredients together in medium saucepan on low heat. Stir occasionally.
- To serve, pour sauce over meatballs and enjoy!

Those look yummy! I love turkey meatballs. And I’m definitely going to have to look for that foil.
Fantastic, I would stuff them in a hoagie with melted cheese and have me a meatball sandwich 🙂
Oh man that sounds good. Normally that may have been how we would eat these. Hoagies and cheese make everything better!
Yum! This dish sounds fantastic. I love the idea of a bruschetta sauce – so fresh and light. Just perfect for summer! Pinned 🙂
