This recipe came about when I realized I had lots of frozen turkey cranberry meatballs from Trader Joe's and I had no idea what to do with them. I figured the flavor wouldn't go well with tomato sauce, but rather needed a creamy, gravy-like sauce to go with those flavors. I did some research into good ratios for this type of sauce and ultimately came up with my own recipe for this sauce that is a little healthier than the usual!
The meatballs were so good in this sauce and so was the pasta! I loved that it made several portions so I could use it as a weekly lunch meal prep, but it would also make a great dinner for a group of people. I definitely recommend this recipe, especially because it is so versatile. You could use any type of meatballs you have/like, even vegan meatballs would work! This is also a great recipe to add some vegetables into (sweet peas go sooo well with this dish!) I hope you all give this a try and love it.
