Cloudy with a chance of meatballs.

My other half picked number 7. (Thanks, G!) Number 7 was...

"Turkey Meatballs and Sauce" (6 quart pot)

~1 egg (It said 1/4 c egg substitute, but we have a lot of eggs, so buying substitute would've been kind of silly.)
~1/2 c seasoned breadcrumbs (I used Panko because they're awesome.)
~1/3 c chopped onion
~1/2 t pepper
~1/4 t Italian seasoning
~1 1/2 lb lean ground turkey

Sauce

~1 (15 oz) can tomato sauce
~1 (14.5 oz) diced tomatoes, undrained
~1 small zucchini, chopped
~1 green pepper, chopped
~1 onion, chopped
~1 (6 oz) can tomato paste
~2 bay leaves
~2 garlic cloves, minced
~1 t dried oregano
~1 t dried basil
~1 t dried parsley flakes
~1/4 t crushed red pepper flakes
~1/4 t pepper
~whole wheat spaghetti

In a large bowl, combine egg, breadcrumbs, onion, pepper, and seasoning.
Crumble turkey over mixture and mix well.
Shape into 1-inch balls; place in a shallow baking pan coated in cooking spray.
Bake, uncovered, at 400° for 15 minutes or until no longer pink. (I used our oven for something!!!)
Meanwhile, in the crock pot, combine tomato sauce, tomatoes, zucchini, green pepper, onion, tomato paste, bay leaves, garlic and seasonings.
Stir in meatballs.
Cover and cook on low for 6 hours.
Meanwhile, cook spaghetti according to package directions; serve with sauce.

8 servings.

This was good. It's more than the amount of work I like to do to put a rock together, so it loses points for that. I do think, though, that if I was more of a fan of Italian food, I might be willing to overlook it. I'm ready for a crock that isn't overly tomato-y, that's for sure.
