Instructions

  1. Preheat oven to 375 degrees F. 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 crushed tomatoes and season with salt and pepper. Let simmer while you make meatballs.

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

  3. 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.

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

  5. Garnish with parsley and serve.
