Baked Turkey Meatballs

My friends recommended I check out this amazing spice store, Savory Spice, on my recent trip to Colorado. They have hundreds of different varieties of spices and blends, and I came home with a delicious Italian Sausage Seasoning Blend. When my boyfriend tasted the seasoning at the store he said it was good enough to eat on its own, but I decided to incorporate it into turkey meatballs. Cooking meatballs on the stove can be a messy experience, so I baked them in the oven before simmering them in tomato sauce. I like to serve mine over brown rice, but you could use pasta or make meatball subs instead. The whole meal was fantastic, and I can't wait to order more of the spices online.
