Dinner: Turkey Meatball Sandwiches with Homemade Sauce

Finally tonight we had the homemade sauce from Monday night's tomato roasting session. It actually tasted even better after sitting in the fridge for a few days. This afternoon, I took the tomato mixture (pureed roasted CSA tomatoes with olive oil and garlic) out of the fridge and set it to simmer with minced basil, spinach, more garlic and a touch of balsamic and red wine. Over the course of a few hours, it all simmered down nicely and we were left with a great, flavorful sauce for our turkey meatballs. We made the meatballs from ground turkey, bread crumbs, minced shallots, garlic, an egg and Penzey's Italian Herb mixture plus salt and pepper. While they pan-fried, I toasted some rolls and finally everything was ready. First the roll, then the meatballs, then sauce ladled over the top. It really makes a difference to do a homemade sauce, and it's so incredibly easy - probably one of my favorite things to do in the kitchen!
