Ingredients
- 1 lb ground turkey, 85/15
- 3/4 cup panko breadcrumbs
- 1 large egg
- 1/4 cup grated Parmesan
- 1 1/2 cups marinara sauce
- 1 1/4 cups shredded mozzarella
- 3/4 tbsp olive oil
- 2 cloves garlic
- to taste dried oregano, salt, pepper
Method (tap to check — screen stays awake)
- Heat the oven to 425°F.
- Mix the turkey, panko, egg, Parmesan, minced garlic, oregano, salt and pepper with your hands until just combined; overworking makes the meatballs dense.
- Roll into 16 meatballs and set them in an oiled baking dish, spaced so they brown rather than steam.
- Roast 12 minutes, until the tops are browned and the meatballs feel firm when nudged.
- Spoon the marinara around and over them, then scatter the mozzarella across the top.
- Return to the oven 10 to 12 minutes, until the sauce bubbles at the edges and the cheese is melted with brown spots.
- Check that a meatball reads 165°F at the center, then rest 5 minutes before serving.
