Shaping meatballs is too fussy for a weeknight meal. Instead, simply scatter a garam masala–spiced ground chicken mixture onto a sheet pan and roast it along with carrots until both are golden brown and crispy-edged. Serve with a tart yogurt sauce and a handful of greens for an easy dinner that deserves a permanent place in your weeknight rotation. For more ground chicken recipes, click here.

Smothered Italian Sausage
This is what I call a fridge-eater recipe. The key here is getting a nice sear on the sausage and cooking the tomato down until it coats the sausage and vegetables well.
