Recipe by Lindsay Funston Simmering in tomato sauce (use it straight from the jar as a shortcut), these cheesy, super flavorful ground turkey meatballs are comfort in a skillet.

Ingredients

1/4 c. plus 2 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil
4 cloves garlic, minced
2 tbsp. chopped fresh rosemary
1 28-ounce can crushed tomatoes
kosher salt
Freshly ground black pepper
1 lb. ground turkey
1 c. breadcrumbs
1 large egg
3 tbsp. chopped fresh parsley, plus more for garnish
1 c. shredded mozzarella

Instructions

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