turkey meatballs with tomato sauce - gf test

TURKEY MEATBALLS WITH TOMATO SAUCE - GF
1 1/2 pounds  celery root - peeled and cut into 1-inch cubes and roasted
1 tablespoon  olive oil
1 1/2 pounds  ground turkey
1/4 cup  fresh  oregano, roughly chopped
bunch parsley -roughly chopped
cloves garlic finely grated
2-3 eggs
recipe house tomato sauce 
red chili flakes to taste
salt and pepper


Season & Roast the diced celeriac root at 400F for 20 minutes. Them let cool. 

After cooling place in a food processor and pulse until they resemble bread crumbs- do not over chop. 

Transfer the celeriac to a bowl and add the ground turkey, herbs, egg and minced garlic and salt & pepper - combined with hand or spoon till even distribution. 

 Time to form into ball shapes. 
I prefer 1 - 2 oz balls and I love to use a small ice cream scoop to assist in making the meatballs. 

Place all the meatballs on a parchment lined baking sheet that will fit into your refrigerator. Chill the meatballs for 30 minutes. 

Remove meatballs and place them into a simmering red sauce - make sure the sauce is at a light rolling boil when the balls go in. If the sauce is not hot enough the balls will fall apart.
