Servings: persons

3 -4 cups chopped onions
3 tablespoons canola oil
1 teaspoon tomato paste
2 cups chopped canned tomatoes, with 1 cup of liquid from the can (most contents of a 35ounce can)
3 lbs roasting chickens, cut into 8-10 pieces (including all giblets, but not the liver)
kosher salt & freshly ground black pepper
MEATBALLS
1 lb ground turkey
1 egg
3 garlic cloves, minced
2 tablespoons breadcrumbs (or matzo meal)
salt & freshly ground black pepper

1
In a large skillet that has a tight fitting lid, cook the onion in the oil until soft and lightly colored, 15-20minutes.
2
Stir in the tomato paste and the chopped tomatoes and their liquid.
3
Add the chicken pieces and their giblets. The liquid should come up about halfway up the chicken but the pieces should not be submerged.
4
Cover the skillet for 20minutes. Add salt and pepper to taste.
5
Meanwhile, make the meatballs by combining all the ingredients in a large bowl.
6
Form the mixture into 1 inch balls and add the balls to the skillet (you may need to move the chicken pieces around to make room).
7
Re-cover the skillet and cook for an additional 20minutes.
8
This can be served immediately, but it reheats really well.
9
If you have the time, remove the chicken and meatballs, strain the broth, and remove the fat. Serve with rice or noodles.
