Mini Turkey Meatballs

Adapted from Food Network

Ingredients

• 1 small onion, grated
• 3 garlic cloves, minced
• 1 large egg
• 1/4 cup dried bread crumbs
• 3 tablespoons ketchup
• 1/4 cup chopped fresh Italian parsley leaves
• 1/4 cup grated Parmesan
• 1/4 cup grated Pecorino Romano
• 1 teaspoon salt
• 1/4 teaspoon ground black pepper
• 1 pound ground dark turkey meat
• 3 tablespoons olive oil
• 1 recipe Simple, Delicious Marinara Sauce

1. Preheat oven to 425-F. Line a large baking sheet with parchment or spray lightly with cooking spray.
2. Use a cheese grater to grate the onion into a large bowl. Onion isn’t the easiest thing to grate, but do your best and get as much of the onion into the bowl as you can. It’s ok to discard the part of the onion that falls apart.
3. Add the rest of ingredients except the turkey into a bowl and mix well. Then, add the turkey and mix until everything is well incorporated.
4. Shape into 1 1/4-inch-diameter meatballs. Place onto baking sheet. Drizzle a little olive oil over the top.
5. Bake for 15 minutes.
6. Meanwhile, in a large saucepan, make the marinara sauce.
7. Transfer the baked meatballs to the marinara sauce. Turn the heat to medium-low and simmer for 15 minutes.
