Instructions
  1. For the sauce, place onion, garlic, tomato sauce, diced tomatoes, oregano, basil, thyme, salt, and pepper into the slow cooker. Stir to combine.
  2. For the meatballs, place the ingredients in a large bowl: turkey, onion powder, garlic powder, eggs, breadcrumbs, pepper, salt, oregano, and basil. Mix with your hands, then form into meatballs and carefully add to the slow cooker. No need to stir prior to cooking, the meatballs are less likely to break apart if you wait to stir until after cooking.

  4. Serve over your favorite pasta and top with Parmesan cheese.
  5. Enjoy!
