Easy Turkey Parmesan Meatballs

Yields about 32 meatballs (serving sizes may vary due to size of meatballs)
Ingredients:

1 pound lean ground turkey breast
1/2 cup breadcrumbs
Small handful fresh basil, finely chopped, plus more for garnish
2 tablespoons finely chopped fresh parsley
1/2 tablespoon dried marjoram or Italian seasoning
1 teaspoon garlic powder
1/4 teaspoon sea salt
1/4 teaspoon freshly ground pepper
1 cup shredded mozzarella cheese
1 cup fresh grated Parmesan cheese (divided)
1 egg
1-1/4 cups marinara sauce (divided)

To keep this dish even healthier, we served our meatballs over fresh zucchini noodles. You can make zucchini noodles easily by using a spiralizer purchased from a cooking store or online.

Directions:

Preheat oven to 375 degrees F and line a large baking sheet with parchment paper.
In a large mixing bowl, combine all ingredients, reserving 1 cup marinara sauce and 1/2 cup Parmesan cheese.
Mix well. Use a small cookie scoop or a spoon to portion out the mixture and place on the baking sheet. Roll each portion into balls. Bake for 20-25 minutes or until the meatballs are completely cooked.
Place the meatballs on a serving platter and spoon the remaining marinara sauce over top. Garnish with remaining Parmesan and fresh basil, if desired.
