Directions
1
Preheat the oven to 375 degrees F (190 degrees C). Coat a baking sheet with cooking spray.
2
Combine bread crumbs, Parmesan cheese, Romano cheese, parsley, basil, oregano, and Cajun seasoning in a bowl until herbs evenly distributed; set aside. Combine minced onion, Cabernet Sauvignon, eggs, and garlic in a second bowl until well mixed; set aside.
3
Combine ground turkey and ground sausage in a third, large bowl. Add cheese and onion mixtures; mix until well combined. Form mixture into 32 (1-inch) meatballs; place on the prepared baking sheet.
4
Bake in the preheated oven until no longer pink in centers and the juices run clear, about 20 minutes. An instant-read thermometer inserted into centers should read at least 160 degrees F (71 degrees C).
