If you prefer, you can substitute ground dark-meat (7% fat) turkey for the chicken thighs, and skip step 1 of the recipe. Ingredients 1 pound boneless, skinless chicken thighs, cut into chunks 1 slice white sandwich bread, crumbled ¼ cup milk 1 large egg white ¼ cup grated Parmesan cheese ¾ teaspoon dried oregano Coarse salt and ground pepper 1 tablespoon olive oil 1 can (28 ounces) whole tomatoes in puree Directions Place chicken thighs in a food processor, and pulse until meat is coarsely ground. Add bread, milk, egg white, cheese, oregano, 1 teaspoon salt, and 1/4 teaspoon pepper; process until meat is finely ground. With moistened hands, shape mixture into 12 meatballs. In a large nonstick skillet, heat oil over medium heat. Add meatballs, and cook until golden brown, about 5 minutes. Add tomatoes and puree, breaking them up with your fingers; bring to a boil. Reduce heat to a simmer; cover, and cook 15 minutes. Uncover; simmer until meatballs are cooked through, about 15 minutes more. Cook's Notes Serve these meatballs over Spaghetti Squash with Garlic for a leaner version of spaghetti and meatballs. Rate it Print
