A delightful twist on classic meatballs, combining turkey and rice for a comforting dish.
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
Preheating ensures even cooking from the start.
In a mixing bowl, combine the ground turkey, rice, onion, garlic powder, salt, and pepper. Mix until well blended.
Avoid overmixing to keep the meatballs tender.
Shape the mixture into golf ball-sized meatballs and arrange them in a casserole dish.
Wet your hands slightly to prevent sticking while shaping.
In another bowl, mix the tomato sauce, Worcestershire sauce, and water until combined.
Taste the sauce and adjust seasoning if needed.
Pour the sauce over the meatballs in the casserole dish, ensuring they are evenly coated.
Gently shake the dish to distribute the sauce evenly.
Cover the dish with foil and bake in the preheated oven for 1 hour.
Check halfway through to ensure the sauce isn't drying out.
Serve the meatballs hot, garnished with fresh parsley if desired.
Pair with a side of crusty bread to soak up the sauce.
