Tomato Sauce
Heat the oil in a heavy wide pot over medium-high heat.
Add the shallots and garlic and sauté until tender about 2 minutes.
Add the thyme and bay leaf.
Add the wine and tomatoes and bring to a simmer.
Simmer very gently uncovered over medium-low heat stirring occasionally until the tomatoes break down to form a chunky sauce (you may need to add a little water during the cooking process if the sauce thickens too much) about 1½ hours.
Stir in the basil.
Season the sauce to taste with salt and pepper. Remove the thyme stems and bay leaf.
Meatballs
Combine the turkey breadcrumbs shallots garlic parsley thyme mustard salt and paprika in a large mixing bowl.
Add the egg.
Using your hand gently mix just until blended.
Form the mixture into 6 to 8 meatballs.
Heat the oil in a heavy large frying pan over medium heat.
Fry the meatballs until golden brown all over about 12 minutes.
Using a slotted spoon transfer the meatballs to the tomato sauce.
Simmer gently until the meatballs are cooked through and the flavors are well married about 10 minutes.
Transfer the meatballs and the tomato sauce to serving bowls.
Using a Microplane rasp grater grate the Parmigiano-Reggiano cheese over the meatballs and serve.

11/03/09 09:02 AM | Wonderful Video and RecipeI think making your own marinara sauce is a great idea. It's something I've never done and was very interested to see how it was done. Am dying to try this as well as the meatballs. My compliments to the Chef! |

11/03/09 07:39 AM | BUY VERY LOW FAT GROUND TURKEY BREASTBreak up the low fat turkey breast and cook in a frying pan. When done drain and rinse off the fat. Add egg whites or egg beaters to the ground turkey. Saute 3 or more chopped garlic cloves in extra virgin olive oil adding the entire mixture to the ground turkey. Add the seasonings you choose plus bread crumbs (optional) and form into balls. The yield should be high protien low fat heart healthy turkey meat balls. |

10/02/09 11:25 PM | Tyler's turkey meatballs.Watched the video with intense interest, but could not understand many of the ingredients as he introduced them. Am forced to go back to the printed recipe and try to compare the words and the sounds. He needs to slow down and enunciate, for us Americans. |

10/02/09 05:03 PM | Don't delude yourself about lowfat foodsI don't know why the Dept of Agriculture or all the "nutrition experts" seen on TV rarely IF EVER mention that store bought ground turkey is ground with the skin on........making it extremely high in fat . I'll take lean ground beef any day. The only way to get lean ground turkey is to purchase a turkey breast, bone it, skin it and grind it yourself, or have your butcher do it for you. |

10/02/09 02:32 PM | Nutritional Info MissingI am tired of people rating a receipe poorly because something that does not have anything to due with the taste of the food is not mentioned or is too hard to find their store because they live in the back woods. Make it, Try it. Rate it!!!!!!! PS TASTES GREAT |

Here's an easy, reliable way to ensure a moist and flavorful turkey...simply baste the turkey with chicken stock during roasting. When the turkey is done, use a bit more stock to make a quick and tasty gravy.
