Happy Happy Friday!!! (Turkey Meatballs, Spaghetti Sauce)

What a day!!!   I walked out of my shoes at work..  literally walked out of my shoes..  lol..  so had to buy a new pair..   fun,  I hate buying shoes for work..  hate it!!!! 
Came home and put on some comfy clothes and chilled for a few minutes..  then while chilling had the worst cramps ever in the muscles over my rib cage on the right side..  gggrrr..  that hurt so bad..  need to figure out how to stop that from happening..  so after the pain stopped and I could breathe again I went into the kitchen to figure out what to cook for dinner..  I decided on Angel Hair with Turkey Meatballs..  yummy..

Turkey Meatballs

1 lb ground turkey,  either the turkey breast or the 85/15
2 hot Italian sausages, casings removed
1 egg
1 small onion, finely chopped
2 cloves garlic, minced
1/4 red bell pepper, finely chopped
bread crumbs
salt, pepper and steak seasoning

In a large bowl mix all the ingredients together and form into 1 inch meatballs..  bake in a 350 degree oven for 30 minutes.

While the meatballs are cooking start the sauce..

Spaghetti Sauce

Olive oil
1 medium onion, chopped,
1/4 red bell pepper, chopped
1/2 green bell pepper, chopped
5 or 6 mushrooms, chopped
4 cloves garlic, minced
1 28 oz can spaghetti sauce
1 15 oz can fire roasted diced tomatoes

In a large saucepan,  heat olive oil add the onions, peppers, mushrooms, garlic and saute for about 5 minutes,  add the sauce and tomatoes,  bring to a boil and lower the heat and simmer until the meatballs are done..   While the sauce is cooking bring a pot of water to a boil and cook Angel hair pasta according to pkg directions..   drain and mix in with the sauce and add the cooked meatballs..  Serve with a green salad and crusty bread
