Method

  • For the MEATBALLS:
  • Preheat the oven to 400 degrees.
  • Line a cookie sheet with foil and add the olive oil to coat.
  • Move around to coat all sides.
  • Take the onion and garlic and grate half of it into a medium size mixing bowl.
  • Finely dice the other half of the onion and add to the bowl.
  • To this add the ground turkey.
  • Next, add the herbs and begin to combine with your hands.
  • Crack the egg into the mix and add the milk.
  • Blend again.
  • Next add the bread crumbs and Parmesan cheese and once again, blend with your hands.
  • Season with salt and pepper.
  • Now you are ready to begin forming the meatballs.
  • I like mine kind of on the small side, about the size of a walnut.
  • As you form them, put them on your cookie sheet and repeat until all of the mixture is gone.
  • Bake for about 20 minutes.
  • For the MEATBALL SAUCE:
  • Finely dice the onion and grate the garlic.
  • In a med.
  • saucepan, add a little olive oil and begin to saute the onions and garlic.
  • Once theyve cooked down a bit and become tender, add the ketchup, tomato paste, vinegar and brown sugar and whisk.
  • Next add the hot sauce and Worcestershire sauce and blend well.
  • Let this simmer for about 5 minutes and add the water.
  • Blend well and season with a little pepper.
  • Dont add salt as the Worcestershire sauce is quite salty.
  • Remove the meatballs from the oven and pour the sauce over them, making sure to coat all of them well.
  • Allow them to cook for an additional 10 minutes.
  • For the ZUGHETTI:
  • Finely julienne the zucchini.
  • Dice the onions and grate the garlic and add to a pan with the olive oil.
  • Season the onions and garlic with a little salt and pepper and turn the heat up to med.
  • high.
  • Once the pan is really hot, add the zucchini and saute for 2 minutes.
  • You dont want to over cook so you can have an al dente feel to the zucchini.
  • Lastly add the parsley, reserving about 1 tbsp.
  • to garnish.
  • With a pair of tongs, gently toss the zucchini and serve.
