ingredients
12 ounces ground turkey
1/2 cup whole-wheat bread crumbs
1 1/2 teaspoon onion powder
1 teaspoon fennel seeds, crushed
1/2 teaspoon garlic powder, divided
1/4 teaspoon salt, divided
1/8 teaspoon crushed red pepper flakes
2 tablespoons water
non-stick cooking spray
2 cups red and green bell pepper strips
14 1/2 ounces canned tomatoes, broken up
1 teaspoon crushed dried oregano
8 ounces penne, cooked (or other tubular pasta)
directions
In a large bowl, combine turkey, bread crumbs, onion powder, fennel seeds, half the garlic powder, salt, red pepper flakes and water. Form mixture into 1-inch meatballs.
Coat a large skillet with nonstick cooking spray. Add meatballs and cook, turning occasionally, 8 to 10 minutes, or until well-browned and cooked through. Remove skillet from heat. With slotted spoon, remove meatballs.
Spray skillet again with cooking spray. Add peppers and cook, stirring, about 5 minutes, until crisp-tender. Stir in tomatoes, oregano and remaining garlic powder.
Return meatballs to skillet and bring to a boil. Reduce heat and simmer about 5 minutes, or until sauce has thickened and meatballs are heated through.
Serve with cooked pasta.

What's the secret ingredient in these cakes? Pudding mix. It not only adds flavor but it gives the cake a richer, creamier texture. No one will know your secret ingredient!

We enjoyed this recipe a lot! The meatballs had good flavor and texture. Some turkey meatball recipes don't end up with a good consistency because of the lean meat but these held their shape well. There wasn't really much sauce so I ended up adding some tomato sauce just to give it something to coat the pasta a bit.
