Ingredients

2 c tomato sauce (no added sugar)

2 lbs ground turkey (lean)

1 egg (1 large or 2 small)

1 1/2 c parmesan cheese (freshly grated, reserve 1/4 cup for topping)

1 1/2 tbsp oregano (fresh, chopped)

3 tbsp basil (fresh, chopped)

3 tbsp parsley (fresh, chopped)

3 cloves garlic (finely minced)

1 tbsps onion powder

1/4 tsp black pepper

3/4 tsp sea salt

Optional: additional tomato sauce (parmesan cheese and fresh basil for serving.)

Directions

Preheat oven to 350 and line a rimmed baking sheet with parchment paper, or spray with canola oil.

Pour half of the tomato sauce into a 9x13 glass baking dish and spread in a thin layer to cover the bottom. Set aside.

In a large glass bowl, add ground turkey, eggs, 1 1/4 cup parmesan cheese, oregano, basil, parsley, garlic, onion powder, salt and pepper. Thoroughly combine mixture with your hands and divide into 24 equal-sized portions.

Gently roll each portion into a ball and place on prepared baking sheet, leaving room between each meatball. Place baking sheet in pre-heated oven and bake for 15-20 minutes.

Remove from oven and transfer meatballs to prepared baking dish. Spoon remaining sauce over meatballs and sprinkle with remaining 1/4 cup parmesan cheese.

Place baking dish in oven for about 10 minutes, or until sauce and meatballs are heated through. Remove from oven and serve immediately.

Garnish with fresh parsley.
