Ingredients:

Serving

1 (3/4-oz) slice firm white bread (such as pepperidge farm)
1/3 cup minced fresh onion
1/4 cup finely chopped cremini mushrooms
2 tbsp finely chopped fresh parsley
2 tbsp grated fresh parmesan cheese
1/4 tsp salt
1/4 tsp dried oregano
1/4 tsp crushed red pepper
1 large egg yolk
1/2 lb lean ground turkey
cooking spray
2 tsp olive oil
3/4 cup chopped onion
4 garlic cloves, thinly sliced
1/2 cup julienne-cut yellow bell pepper
1/2 cup julienne-cut orange bell pepper
1/2 tsp salt, divided
3 cups chopped seeded plum tomato (about 2 lb)
1/2 cup tomato juice
1/4 cup quartered pitted kalamata olives
2 tbsp balsamic vinegar
1 tsp sugar
1/2 tsp dried oregano
1/4 tsp freshly ground black pepper
1/4 cup thinly sliced fresh basil
1/8 tsp salt
8 oz uncooked penne (about 2 cups tube-shaped pasta)

Directions:

Preheat oven to 400°.
To prepare meatballs, place bread in a food processor; pulse 10 times or until fine crumbs measure 1/2 cup. Combine breadcrumbs, 1/3 cup onion, and next 8 ingredients (1/3 cup onion through turkey); stir well to combine. Lightly coat hands with cooking spray. Shape turkey mixture into 20 (1-inch) meatballs. Place on a baking sheet coated with cooking spray. Bake at 400° for 12 minutes or until done; cover and keep warm.
To prepare sauce, heat oil in a large nonstick skillet over medium-high heat. Add 3/4 cup onion; sauté 3 minutes. Add garlic; sauté 1 minute. Add bell peppers and 1/4 teaspoon salt; sauté 2 minutes. Add tomato and next 6 ingredients (tomato through black pepper); bring to a boil. Reduce heat; simmer, uncovered, 13 minutes or until sauce thickens. Stir in basil and 1/4 teaspoon salt. Add meatballs; stir to coat.
To prepare pasta, while sauce cooks, bring 3 quarts of water to a boil in a large saucepan; add 1/8 teaspoon salt and pasta. Cook 10 minutes or until al dente; drain. Serve meatball mixture over pasta.
