Turkey Meatballs

Feel free to add pasta to this dish, but I ate them alone! YUM!!!

Ingredients:
4 tablespoons olive oil
4 garlic cloves, minced
large can of diced tomatoes
1/2 teaspoon dried oregano
1/2 teaspoon dried thyme
sprinkle of red pepper flakes (for heat)
salt & pepper
1 large egg
1/3 cup milk
1/2 cup breadcrumbs
1/2 cup parmesan cheese
1/3 cup fresh parsley
1 pond ground turkey
pasta, if you prefer

Directions:

Make the sauce: In a large nonstick skillet, heat 3 tablespoons oil over medium-high heat. Add garlic and cook for 1 minute. Stir in tomatoes, oregano, and thyme. Season with salt & pepper and red pepper flakes. Bring to a boil. Cover and cook for about 15 minutes.
Make the meatballs: In a large bowl, whisk together egg, milk, salt, pepper, with a fork. Stir in breadcrumbs, cheese, parsley. Add turkey, mixing until combined. Form 1 1/2 inch balls.
Add meatballs to the skillet, spooning sauce over to coat. Cover, cook over medium heat until meatballs are cooked through, about 10 - 15 minutes.
