Note
This versatile recipe can be prepared in one of two ways. The instructions above detail the simple one-pan skillet method. For a different texture, you can also bake the turkey into meatballs before combining them with the sauce, as shown in the YouTube video.
Baked Meatball Method:
- In a bowl, combine the ground turkey, Parmesan cheese, 1 teaspoon of salt, and 1 teaspoon of Italian seasoning. Mix gently until just combined.
- Portion the mixture using a cookie scoop or tablespoon into small, uniform meatballs.
- Place the meatballs on a sheet pan and bake at 400°F for 25 minutes, or until the internal temperature reaches 165°F.
- Once the meatballs are cooked, add them to the skillet with the sauce and simmer for 5-10 minutes to allow the flavors to meld.
- Divide the mixture evenly into 5 servings for your meal prep containers.
