A delightful twist on classic porcupine meatballs, this recipe combines turkey, rice, and a flavorful sauce for a comforting meal.
Combine the ground turkey, ground beef, rice, chopped onion, and salt in a mixing bowl.
Mix gently to avoid overworking the meat, which can make the meatballs dense.
Form the mixture into evenly sized meatballs, about 1-2 inches in diameter.
Use a small ice cream scoop for uniform meatballs.
Place the meatballs in a single layer in a baking dish.
Ensure the meatballs are not overcrowded to allow even cooking.
In a separate bowl, mix the tomato sauce, Worcestershire sauce, and water.
Taste the sauce and adjust seasoning if needed.
Pour the sauce over the meatballs, ensuring they are mostly covered.
Gently tilt the dish to distribute the sauce evenly.
Cover the dish with aluminum foil and bake in a preheated oven at 350°F for 1.5 hours, or until the rice is tender.
Check halfway through and stir gently if needed to ensure even cooking.
Serve the meatballs hot, garnished with fresh parsley if desired.
Pair with a side of steamed vegetables or mashed potatoes for a complete meal.
