Spaghetti & AMAZEBALLS!!!

So my plan for dinner tonight was Hubby's fav... Cream of crab soup, but my back started hurting and so I asked Hubby to just make tacos. Then of course, we noticed we had no tortillas or shells. So, I whipped together spaghetti with the defrosted ground turkey. Hope you like my meatballs as much as I do...

Bit of extra info...
1) I use McCormicks Spicy Steak seasoning  and worcestershire sauce for almost EVERYTHING!

2) I LOVE Muir Glen's organic spaghetti sauce. It's delicious and reasonably priced for organic. It usually costs me about $3.25 at Market Street. Before I started switching out to organic, I LOVED Del Monte's Traditional flavor and it only costs about .97. I ALWAYS add more crushed red peppers, fresh minced garlic, and Italian seasoning no matter what though.
For noodles, I use Ronzoni whole grain thin noodles.
and my new love is "Food Club" garlic dinner rolls!!! Sooo good when you dip them in the spaghetti sauce. Just Saying!

3) I like to serve my spaghetti with fried eggplant and fried bowties or fried raviolis.

I peel an eggplant, slice it into 1/2 inch slices, dip into an egg & milk mixture (2 eggs, splash of milk) and roll into Italian bread crumbs, and dip into the deep fryer. Serve topped with jalapeno slices, spaghetti sauce, and parmesan cheese. 

* For the bowties or raviolis, just boil the bowties or raviolis until cooked. dip in egg/milk mixture and dip into your bread crumbs. I find they're better if you redip them into the egg/milk mixture and breadcrumbs before frying!

Cajun Cowgirl Spaghetti & Amazeballs!!!
 Get to cookin':
1 lb ground turkey (extra lean)
1 tsp minced garlic
1 tbsp Italian seasoning
1 tbsp worcestershire sauce
1 tsp crushed red pepper
1 tbsp ketchup
1/2 tbsp McCormick's steak seasoning
1 tbsp Italian bread crumbs

 In a mixing bowl, combine ground turkey, bread crumbs, worcestershire, crushed red pepper, steak seasoning, & minced garlic. After the mixture seems evenly distributed, roll into round balls.

Heat up your pan, then drizzle oil and ketchup into pan. (I never cook anything on high. I like cooking things at lower heat for longer.) Then, place in your meatballs, add another sprinkle of worcestershire, then more steak seasoning, and cover. I like mine medium/well done and roll them around in the sauce created! ENJOY!
