Turkey meatballs with a tomato/pineapple sauce on pasta, with a side of dumplings

Earlier this year I acquired a small slow cooker from my mom, but it just sat in the kitchen for many months. Eventually I decided to get experimental with making meatballs, and it turned out quite well, especially after a few iterations and tweaks. Here is my approximate recipe for anyone who would like to try replicating or improving on them. Keep in mind that I’m not all that highly experienced in the kitchen. If anything seems off or less than ideal, feel free to adjust; I’m sure I didn’t get it perfect, but merely close enough.

  • 1/2 cup finely diced tomato
  • 1/2 chopped pineapple

So uh, yeah…that looks delicious. Even more so because I’ve been lucky enough to have had a sampling over Thanksgiving luncheon!

Awesome post, dude. YUM.

Am I impressed! You’ve made a big jump from our cookie making days. I am going to give this a try. Good instructions and clear pictures. Keep it up.

Andy, I’m so impressed with the presentation of the recipe and I’m going to try it!

I have had these meatballs and they are amazing, and the dumplings are inspired addition. I really liked the addition of BBQ sauce, it adds a smoky sweetness that pairs well with the pineapple!
