Meanwhile, add turkey, breadcrumbs, half the Italian Seasoning, half the garlic and 1 tbsp oil (dbl for 4 ppl) to a large bowl. Season with pepper and 1/4 tsp salt (dbl for 4 ppl), then combine. (TIP: If you prefer a firmer meatball, add an egg to the mixture!)Roll mixture into 8 equal-sized meatballs (16 for 4 ppl).

Heat a large non-stick pan over medium-high heat. When hot, add 1 tbsp oil (dbl for 4 ppl), then meatballs. Cook, turning meatballs often, until golden-brown on all sides, 2-3 min.

Cook, stirring often, until onions soften, 2 min.

Add tomato sauce base, crushed tomatoes, remaining Italian Seasoning and reserved pasta water to the pan with veggies. Season with salt and pepper, then stir to combine.
