Method

1

In a large mixing bowl, combine ground turkey, breadcrumbs, egg, minced garlic, grated Parmesan, salt, and black pepper.

2

Gently mix with your hands until just combined; do not overmix. Shape into 12 meatballs, each about 1.5 inches in diameter.

3

Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add meatballs in a single layer and cook for 4–5 minutes per side, turning once, until browned.

4

Add diced onion to the pan and cook for 1 minute until softened. Pour in marinara sauce and Italian seasoning. Stir gently.

5

Reduce heat to low, cover, and simmer for 12–15 minutes, stirring occasionally, until meatballs are cooked through and sauce thickens slightly.

6

Cook pasta according to package directions until al dente; drain and divide among serving bowls.

7

Spoon meatballs and sauce over pasta. Serve hot.
