Sauce:

Combine all ingredients in a 4 qt saucepan. Simmer over medium-low
heat for 30 minutes.

Meatballs:

In a food processor or blender, puree potato, onions, egg whites,
Italian seasoning, garlic, salt, and pepper until smooth.

Transfer to a large bowl. Add turkey and mix thoroughly. Shape the
mixture into 1" balls.

Add meatballs to the sauce. Shake to coat meatballs with sauce.

Partially cover and simmer on low heat for 30 minutes. Refrain from
stirring for the first 30 minutes, or until meatballs are firm.

Remove cover and simmer for another 30 minutes until sauce thickens.
Shake the pot several times during cooking to avoid sticking.
