• Meatballs:

• 1/3 cup minced fresh onion
• 1/4 cup finely chopped cremini mushrooms
• 2 tablespoons finely chopped fresh parsley
• 2 tablespoons grated fresh Parmesan cheese
• 1/4 teaspoon salt
• 1/4 teaspoon dried oregano
• 1/4 teaspoon crushed red pepper
• 1 large egg yolk
• 1/2 pound lean ground turkey
• Cooking spray
• Sauce:
• 2 teaspoons 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 teaspoon salt, divided
• 3 cups chopped seeded plum tomato (about 2 pounds)
• 1/2 cup tomato juice
• 1/4 cup quartered pitted kalamata olives
• 2 tablespoons balsamic vinegar
• 1 teaspoon sugar
• 1/2 teaspoon dried oregano
• 1/4 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
• 1/4 cup thinly sliced fresh basil
• Pasta:
• 1/8 teaspoon salt
• 8 ounces uncooked penne (about 2 cups tube-shaped pasta)

1. Preheat oven to 400u0b0.
2. 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 400u0b0 for 12 minutes or until done; cover and keep warm.
3. To prepare sauce, heat oil in a large nonstick skillet over medium-high heat. Add 3/4 cup onion; saute 3 minutes. Add garlic; saute 1 minute. Add bell peppers and 1/4 teaspoon salt; saute 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.
4. 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.
