Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C).
Peel and finely chop the onion and mince the garlic cloves.
In a large mixing bowl, combine the ground turkey, half of the chopped onion, half of the minced garlic, salt, pepper, and 1 teaspoon of Italian herbs. Mix well until all ingredients are evenly incorporated.
Form the mixture into small meatballs, about 1 inch in diameter, and place them on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper.
Bake the meatballs in the preheated oven for 20 minutes or until cooked through and golden brown.
While the meatballs are baking, bring a pot of salted water to a boil and cook the spaghetti according to package instructions until al dente. Drain and set aside.
In a large skillet, heat olive oil over medium heat. Add the remaining onion and garlic, and sauté until translucent, about 2-3 minutes.
Add the tomato sauce, the remaining 1 teaspoon of Italian herbs, and honey to the skillet. Stir well to combine and let it simmer for about 5 minutes.
Add the baked meatballs to the tomato sauce and let them simmer for another 5 minutes to absorb the flavors.
Serve the meatballs and sauce over the cooked spaghetti. Garnish with additional Italian herbs if desired.
