Ingredients

12 ounces ground lamb

12 ounces 93%-lean ground turkey

1 cup fresh whole-wheat breadcrumbs (see Tip)

1 large egg white

1 cup minced onion, divided

6 cloves garlic, minced, divided

4 tablespoons chopped fresh mint, divided

1 teaspoon ground coriander

1/2 teaspoon ground cumin

1/2 teaspoon kosher salt, divided

1 tablespoon extra-virgin olive oil

1/2 cup red wine

1/4 teaspoon cayenne pepper

1 28-ounce can crushed tomatoes

Directions

1. Preheat oven to 350°F. Coat a baking sheet with cooking spray.

2. Combine lamb, turkey, breadcrumbs, egg white, 1/2 cup onion, half the garlic, 2 tablespoons mint, coriander, cumin and 1/4 teaspoon salt in a large bowl. Gently mix to combine. Shape into 48 little meatballs, about 1 tablespoon each. Place on the prepared baking sheet.

3. Bake the meatballs for 10 minutes. Set aside.

4. Meanwhile, heat oil in a large saucepan over medium heat. Add the remaining 1/2 cup onion and cook, stirring, until golden, 3 to 5 minutes. Stir in the remaining garlic, wine, cayenne and the remaining 1/4 teaspoon salt. Simmer over medium-low heat until the wine has reduced significantly, 3 to 5 minutes. Add tomatoes, return to a simmer, reduce heat to low and simmer, partially covered, for 20 minutes.

5. Add the meatballs to the sauce and cook until heated through, about 5 minutes. Garnish with the remaining 2 tablespoons mint.
