Cooking Instructions
Follow our step-by-step guide on how to make Slow Cooker Turkey Sausage Meatballs Dinner.
Step 1
Start by warming some olive oil in a skillet over medium heat.
Step 2
Once the oil is shimmering, toss in half of your chopped garlic and sauté it for about 30 seconds until it releases a delightful aroma.
Step 3
This fragrant mixture is your flavor base, so transfer it to the bottom of your slow cooker.
Step 4
Now, stir in the crushed tomatoes, dried oregano, and three-quarters of a teaspoon of salt to create a rich, savory sauce.
Step 5
In a large bowl, combine the remaining chopped garlic, the rest of the salt, turkey sausage, ground turkey, bread crumbs, Parmesan cheese, eggs, and chopped parsley.
Step 6
Get your hands in there and mix everything together until it’s well blended.
Step 7
This is where the magic happens, so don’t be shy! Once it’s all combined, shape the mixture into meatballs about two inches in diameter.
Step 8
Next, gently place the meatballs into the slow cooker on top of that luscious tomato mixture.
Step 9
To ensure every bite is bursting with flavor, spoon the remaining tomato sauce over the meatballs, making sure they’re nicely coated.
Step 10
Now, cover your slow cooker and set it to the Low setting.
Step 11
Let it work its magic for four to five hours, or until the meatballs are cooked through and no longer pink in the center.
Step 12
As the aroma fills your kitchen, you’ll know you’re in for a comforting meal that’s sure to please everyone at the table.
Step 13
Enjoy your delicious creation!.
