Ingredients

1 cup Shredded mozzarella
3 tbsp. Freshly chopped parsley, plus more for garnish
1 Large egg
1 cup Breadcrumbs
1 pound Ground turkey
Freshly ground black pepper
Kosher salt
1 can Crushed tomatoes
2 tbsp. Freshly chopped rosemary
4 cloves Garlic, minced and divided
6 tbsp. Extra virgin olive oil

Method

01

Preheat oven to 375℉. Make sauce: In a large pot over low heat, heat 1/4 cup oil. Add half the garlic and all the rosemary and stir, making sure it doesn't burn, until fragrant, 1 minute. Add tomatoes and season with salt and pepper. Let simmer while you make meatballs.
02

Meanwhile, in a large bowl, combine turkey, bread crumbs, egg, remaining garlic, and parsley and season with salt and pepper. Roll mixture into meatballs and set aside.
03

In a large skillet over medium-high heat, heat remaining 2 tablespoons oil. Add meatballs and brown, moving occasionally to ensure they don't stick, about 5 minutes.
04

Ladle sauce into skillet and over meatballs. Top with cheese and bake until meatballs are cooked through, 10 minutes more.
05

Garnish with parsley and serve.
