Creamy Cheesy Spaghetti and turkey meatballs

Sorry for the delay in new posts.  i was sick all weekend, and thanks to that i am now dealing with a sick 2 month old.  needless to say she is very cranky and tired.

here is one of my family's favorite meals.  it's what i made for dinner Saturday night.  easy to do when sick.  the first thing you will need to do is make the meatballs.  i make these in large batches, freeze them and then cook what i need when needed.  here is what you will need for the meat balls:

3lbs ground turkey
2 cups Italian bread crumbs(you can get 2 huge things for $5 at Costco)
3-4 eggs
1 pkg onion soup mix
1/4 cup Worcestershire sauce
2tbs garlic powder

Mix all ingredients together in a large bowl.  preheat oven to 350 and grease a large casserole dish.  place dish in oven while it preheats.  make whatever size meatballs you want.  i use the size of a small ice cream scoop.  once preheated remove casserole dish from oven with pot holders.  place 12 meatballs in casserole(this normally makes 24 meatballs so u will have to either use 2 casserole dishes, or cook these in 2 batches).  bake for 25 minutes, turn over and bake for another 15 minutes or until cooked through.  let meatballs cool, place in freezer bag and freeze for later date.

Now to make the spaghetti.  her is what you will need:

1 can spaghetti sauce any flavor
1 jar creamy Alfredo sauce
1 box rotini pasta, or whatever pasta you prefer

mix spaghetti sauce and Alfredo sauce in pot together.  bring to a boil.  add however many frozen meatballs you want and reduce heat to simmer. boil water and cook pasta according to directions on package.  drain pasta and place some on plate.  spoon meatballs and sauce on top.  serve with salad and garlic bread.
