Turkey Parmesan Meatballs

This recipe comes from the Wellsphere Blog

The recipe with the modifications that I made is as follows:

Ingredients:

• 1 lb. Ground Turkey
• 2 Tbsp. Marinara Sauce
• 1/4 Cup Parmesan - Grated
• 3 Tbsp. Parsley
• 3 Tbsp. Garlic - Minced
• 1/2 tsp. Italian Seasoning
• 1/2 tsp. Onion Powder
• Pepper - To Taste

Directions:

1. Preheat oven to 350F.
2. In large mixing bowl, combine  ground turkey, 2 Tbs. marinara sauce, Parmesan cheese, parsley, garlic, Italian seasoning, onion powder, and black pepper.
3. Form into equal-sized meatballs.  Bake for 30 minutes, on middle rack in an 8 x 11 glass baking dish.

Thoughts About The Dish:

Note: we used mozzarella instead of parmesan, and used extra marinara sauce. The result  here wasn't as big a hit in our house as some dishes have been. One complaint was that the texture of the ground turkey didn't seem quite right for meatballs. Another thought we all shared was that the overall taste would probably have been improved by browning the meatballs before baking. We specifically wanted to try them without browning, and the conclusion we came away with is that browning is worthwhile!
