My family likes meatballs, pretty much, but the tomato sauce I cook them in, not so much. I made meatballs once using leftover gravy (not thickened) from a pot roast, which went over very well. I have no more gravy. Any ideas for a sauce that doesn't include tomatoes or tomato sauce?

Here is a recipe:

1 kilo ground chicken/ turkey /veal (your choice)
1 slice challa, w/o crust soaked in water and squeezed again
1 egg
breadcrumbs
seasoning – garlic , sweet paprika, nutmeg etc.

Sauce

1 onion, chopped finely in food processor
water, sugar and vinegar (or lemon juice) according to taste. Not too much water.
about half a cup of raisins. (Could be more, can mix dark and light for effect)
Servings recalculate

Preparation
Mix the egg with the challa till fine, then add to chopped meat with spices. If the mixture is too wet, add some breadcrumbs.
Make flat meatballs. Roll meatballs in breadcrumbs, and fry in oil till light brown on each side. Drain excess oil on paper towels.
You can refrigerate them at this point, and continue the next stage the day after.

Sauce:
Boil up ingredients for sauce. When it boils, add the fried meatballs. Let simmer for about 1 hour. The sauce thickens from the breaded meatballs and onions!
When cool, divide into servings and freeze

put 1 heaping Tbs pickling spice into a stocking and seal. throw into pot and simmer several hours.
Adding some chicken wings adds delicious flavor but is quite fatty.

I love this in the crockpot: It was a weight watchers recipe a friend gave me.

1 spray(s) cooking spray
1 pound(s) uncooked ground turkey breast
1/2 tsp table salt, or more to taste
1/4 tsp ground sage, or more to taste
8 small uncooked new potato(es), scrubbed, unpeeled
9 oz frozen artichokes, hearts
1/2 tsp dried oregano, crushed
1/4 tsp black pepper
1 cup(s) canned chicken broth
1 Tbsp cornstarch
1 Tbsp fresh lemon juice
Instructions

Coat a 12-inch nonstick skillet with cooking spray.

Season turkey with salt and sage; shape into 1-inch balls. Add turkey to skillet and brown on all sides, about 3 to 5 minutes; remove and place in 4- to 5-quart slow cooker.

Add potatoes, frozen artichoke hearts, oregano, pepper and broth; cover and cook on high heat for 5 to 6 hours. (Note: When layering the ingredients in your slow cooker, arrange the artichoke hearts near the top so they don’t overcook. Do not thaw the artichokes first. Or, add the artichokes toward the end of the cooking process if you prefer a firmer texture.)

About 15 minutes before serving, spoon cornstarch into a cup. Add 1 tablespoon of the slow cooker liquid and lemon juice; stir well. Stir into slow cooker, cover and cook on low heat for 15 minutes more. Yields about 1 2/3 cups per serving.

Thanks all! I made the honey-garlic meatballs. Dh and I, as well as my three year old, loved it. My other kids found it too sweet.

We'll try something else next time.

Small Greek lemony meatballs. My father (Z"L) used to cook it. This recipe is exactly the same thing I ate as a child...

I also find it too strong, but my kids like it.

Have you been making your tomato sauce meatballs Jewish style or Italian style? Jewish is sweet, and I can't stomach it at all, but my other grew up in an Italian neighborhood, so she learned to make a savory tomato sauce that's worlds away and dramatically better. If your kids thought the other recipe you tried was too sweet, maybe you just need to make a different kind of tomato sauce.

I also have a recipe somewhere for an onion-based sauce for meatballs, if you're interested...

I got the idea from cookielady.

I bake my meatballs on a cookie sheet for 20 minutes (or in a 9x13 at 350 for 30 minutes).
Then I top them with a double recipe of the mushroom sauce posted here (the one made with chicken soup-and I use a box of fresh mushrooms (or two for double recipe) that I saute, not canned)

I use Mrs Bissli's recipe as a base.
http://imamother.com/forum/vie.....balls

3 jumbo carrots
1 large sweet onion
3 garlic cloves
olive oil
3 cups water
kosher salt

Process carrots, onion, and garlic in a food processor fitted with a knife (s) blade.
Saute in a pot with olive oil for 15 minutes.
Add water. Bring to a boil. Season with salt until very tasty.
Add meatballs. Bring back to a boil. Simmer 45 minutes.

I keep meaning to make this....
I would use ground chicken or ground meat -
when you make it - do you find alot of oil floats to the top or that the meatballs make the soup murkey? do u refrigerate it/freeze it bc serving to get the fat to congeal and then skim it off?

whats ur recipe - what else do u put into the soup?
