Servings: 4 serving
Equipment
- 10-12 inch pan with a lid
Ingredients
- 16 ounce jar of marinara sauce
- 1/3 cup grated parmesan cheese
- 1/4 cup chopped basil optional
Meatballs
- 16 ounces ground turkey
- 3/4 cup Italian breadcrumbs
- 1/4 cup buttermilk
- 1 large egg
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 1 teaspoon Italian seasoning
- 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1/2 teaspoon onion powder
- 1/2 teaspoon black pepper
Instructions
- To start, add the ground turkey and the rest of the meatball ingredients into a bowl. Mix well then cover the bowl and allow to sit for 15-20 minutes to allow the breadcrumbs to do their thing.
- After that time, form the meatballs into little golf sizes. Heat up a pan to medium high heat, pour in a little oil, then sear a side or two of the meatballs.
- Lower heat to low-medium and wait until the pan cools, then pour in the marinara sauce. Cover the Italian turkey meatballs and allow them to finish cooking all the way through.
- Once done, remove the lid and turn off the heat. Stir in fresh chopped basil and sprinkle grated parmesan cheese across the top before serving.
