Tender herbed turkey meatballs simmered in marinara under melted mozzarella — a lighter spin on a comfort-food classic.

Ingredients

  • 12.5 oz 93% lean ground turkey
  • 1 cup marinara sauce
  • 0.5 cup panko breadcrumbs
  • 1 large egg
  • 3 tbsp parmesan, grated
  • 1.5 oz mozzarella, shredded

Instructions

  1. Mix the ground turkey with the panko, egg, parmesan, and Italian seasoning until just combined, then roll into about 12 meatballs.
  2. Heat the olive oil in a skillet over medium-high and brown the meatballs on all sides for 5 minutes, turning gently.
  3. Pour the marinara around the meatballs, cover, and simmer 8 to 10 minutes until the meatballs are cooked through and no longer pink inside.
  4. Scatter the mozzarella over the top, cover, and cook 2 minutes more until melted and bubbling.
