Instructions
-
Preheat your oven to 375°F.
-
In a skillet on medium heat, sauté your onion and garlic until softened, about 5 minutes. Take off heat.
-
In a mixing bowl, combine the ground turkey, ricotta cheese, breadcrumbs, Parmesan cheese, egg, parsley, onions, salt and pepper. Mix well until all ingredients are evenly combined.
-
Roll the mixture into balls that are about 1 1/2 inches in diameter (makes ~15 meatballs). You may use a cookie scoop or spoon to help measure.
-
Place the meatballs on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper, spacing them about an inch apart.
-
Bake the meatballs for 10 minutes. Once the 10 minutes are up, turn the broil on for about 5 minutes, until they are golden brown.
-
While the meatballs are baking, warm the marinara sauce in a large saucepan over medium heat.
-
Once the meatballs are done, transfer them to the saucepan with the marinara sauce. Gently stir the meatballs in the sauce until they are fully coated.
-
Reduce the heat to low and let the meatballs simmer in the sauce for 5 minutes to allow the flavors to blend together.
-
Serve the meatballs hot, garnished with additional grated Parmesan cheese and fresh parsley if desired. Enjoy!
