Porcupine Balls in Tomato Sauce

I loved this dish as a kid and have been thinking about it for a while, so that's what is for dinner tonight! Lets see if it is as good as I remember it being...

The cast:
10 oz ground turkey
2 oz uncooked rice
1/4 cup chopped onion
2 tablespoons chopped parsley
1 teaspoon salt
1/8 teaspoon each of: thyme, marjoram leaves
dash pepper

Preheat oven to 350F. Mix ingredients together and form into ball. Place in a covered dish.

Mix together 1 cup tomato sauce, 1/2 cup chicken broth and 1/8 teaspoon minced garlic. Pour over balls and bake for 1 hour - turning once halfway through.

While porcupine balls are cooking cut the top off a bell pepper and scoop out seeds and veins. When the porcupine balls are finished cooking stuff the balls in the peppers and voila, Porcupine Balls!

This is an old weight watchers recipe apparently and serves 2 so modify as needed for larger families.
