Original recipe (1X) yields 6 servings

¾ cup chopped fresh parsley
1 medium white onion, diced
4 cloves garlic, minced
1 tablespoon red pepper paste
1 ½ pounds lean ground turkey
2 teaspoons dried basil
2 teaspoons dried thyme
1 teaspoon ground cumin
1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
1 teaspoon ground allspice, or more to taste
1 pinch salt and ground black pepper to taste
2 tablespoons oil

Sauce:

4 cups water, or more as needed
1 (28 ounce) jar spaghetti sauce
1 (14.5 ounce) can fire-roasted diced tomatoes
1 (6 ounce) can tomato paste

Directions

Combine parsley, onion, garlic, and red pepper paste in the bowl of a food processor; process until finely blended. Transfer to a large bowl. Add turkey, basil, thyme, cumin, cinnamon, allspice, salt, and pepper; mix until thoroughly combined. Form mixture into uniformly-sized meatballs.
Heat oil in a large saucepan over medium-low heat. Add meatballs, working in batches if necessary, and saute until browned on all sides, 2 to 3 minutes per side. Remove to a plate.
Add 4 cups water, spaghetti sauce, diced tomatoes, and tomato paste to the saucepan; mix to combine. Add more water if sauce seems too thick. Drop meatballs into sauce and cook over medium-low heat until flavors have melded, about 1 hour.
