Italian Turkey Meatballs - cooking recipe

Ingredients

12 frozen italian-style turkey meatballs
1 teaspoon canola oil
3 garlic cloves, minced
1 small onion, diced
1 carrot, diced
1 (28 ounce) can crushed tomatoes
2 tablespoons tomato paste
1/8 teaspoon salt
1/2 teaspoon fresh ground black pepper
1 tablespoon minced basil

Preparation

Defrost the meatballs according to package directions.
Place them in a 4 quart slow cooker.
Heat the oil in a nonstick pan.
Saute the garlic, onion, and carrot until the carrots and onions start to soften.
Add the crushed tomatoes, tomato paste, salt, pepper, and basil; stir.
Simmer until most of the liquid has evaporated.
Pour the sauce over the meatballs, and stir to coat them.
Cook on low up to 6 hours.
** I have simply dumped everything in the crockpot, frozen meatballs and all and turned out great. Served the meatballs and sauce over pasta or mashed potatoes.
