Turkey Meatballs with Roasted Red Pepper Sauce
So much flavor, so easy to make, and it's good for you! What's not to like?! This is the perfect weeknight dinner for 1 or the whole fam. Recently I've fallen in love with jarred roasted red peppers (yeah I know I'm late to the game,) but if you haven't discovered this flavor bomb ingredient this is the recipe to try (or my salmon skillet recipe!) Feel free to sub out any ground meat (or non meat option) for the ground turkey! I served mine with pasta (obvi) but you can serve these with any side dish or eat them all on their own! Enjoy!
