1 lb lean ground beef or ground turkey

1 medium onion, chopped (1/2 cup)

1/3 cups dry bread crumbs

1/4 cup milk

1 egg

1 teaspoon salt

1/8 teaspoon pepper

1 teaspoon dried mint

1/2 teaspoon cumin

2 cups pasta sauce (low sodium)

1 can diced tomatoes

1/2 cup water

Heat oven to 400 degrees.

In a large bowl, mix meat, onion, bread crumbs, milk, eggs, salt, pepper, mint and cumin. Shape mixture into 1-inch balls.

Place on tin foil lined baking sheet.

Bake uncovered for about 15 minutes or until no longer pink in center.

In the meantime add the sauce, diced tomatoes and water to a sauce pan.

Add meat balls and bring to a boil. Stir occasionally and reduce heat.

Cover and simmer about 20 minutes or until meat balls are hot.

For extra flavor, put into a crock pot and let simmer for hours.
