Diabetic Meaty Tomato Sauce crustless sturdy stale bread 2 oz --- lean ground turkey breast --- 1/2 lb egg 1 ea --- freshly grated Romano cheese 1/4 cup --- chopped fresh parsley 1/4 cup --- clove garlic, minced 1 ea --- fresh ground black pepper 1/2 tsp --- extra-virgin olive oil 1 Tbsp --- 28 oz can diced tomatoes in juice 1 ea --- 28 oz can crushed tomatoes 1 ea ---
To make fresh bread crumbs, grate the bread on the large holes in a box grater. You should have about 1 cup. In a large bowl, lightly combine the turkey, bread crumbs, egg, cheese, parsley, garlic, and pepper. Let stand 10 minutes to moisten evenly. Shape the mixture into 12 meatballs. In a large nonstick saucepan or deep skillet, heat the oil. Cook the meatballs, turning as needed, until well-browned on all sides, 7-8 minutes. Transfer to a plate. Pour off all but 1 tsp of any oil remianing in the pan. Add the tomatoes and meatballs; bring to just below boiling. Reduce the heat to low; partially cover and simmer, stirring occasionally, until the meatballs are tender; at least 2 hours. With a slotted spoon, remove the meatballs to a large bowl. Crumble with a wooden spoon (or, when cool enough to handle, with your hands), then return to the sauce and heat through.
