Turkey Cacciatore Meatballs

1 pound ground turkey breast

1/2 Cup Italian—flavored bread crumbs

1/2 cup grated Parmesan cheese

1/2 of a medium—sized green bell pepper, finely chopped

1/2 of a medium—sized onion, finely chopped

1 jar (28 ounces) light spaghetti sauce, divided

2 eggs

2 teaspoons garlic powder

1 teaspoon dried oregano

1/2 teaspoon black pepper

1/4 cup olive oil

In a large bowl, combine the turkey, bread crumbs, Parmesan cheese, bell pepper, onion, 1/4 cup spaghetti sauce, the eggs, garlic powder, oregano, and black pepper. With clean hands, combine the mixture until thoroughly mixed. Form into 24 meatballs; set aside.

In a large pot, heat the oil over medium—high heat. Place the meat- balls in the pot a few at a time and brown for 2 to 3 minutes, gently turning to brown on all sides.

Drain off excess liquid and add the remaining spaghetti sauce to the pot; reduce the heat to low, cover, and simmer for 18 to 20 minutes, or until the meatballs are cooked through.
