This is, hands down, the easiest, and most delicious, slow cooker meal on the planet. This was adapted from my favorite clean eating blogger, The Gracious Pantry. I usually get one dinner out of this meal for me, husband and toddler. It’s my go to for Sunday dinner. I prep in the AM and it’s ready for dinner. Sometimes, I do two batches (I have two crockpots) and we save a batch for later in the week (or you can freeze!).
Ingredients:
1-1.5lb of ground, lean turkey
Jar of tomato sauce (I like to buy organic with no added sugar)
Optional – 1/4 cup of Parmesan cheese
Optional – Italian spices – basil, rosemary, oregano (all optional, teaspoon of each)
Optional – Pasta (make it whole grain!)
Directions:
Step 1 – Put turkey in mixing bowl and if you choose to, stir in spices and about 1/4 cup parmesan cheese.
Step 2 – Add a thin layer of pasta sauce to the bottom of your slow cooker
Step 3 – With clean hands, roll the turkey into small balls, and line them up along the bottom of the slow cooker
Step 4 – Cook on ‘low’ for 4 hours
Step 5 – If you are serving with pasta, boil pasta separately and drain. Meatballs and sauce are ready to be served over pasta or by themselves. Enjoy!
