Turkey Meatballs in Marinara

Ingredients

• 2 lbs ground turkey
• 2 slices white bread, crusts removed
• 1/2 cup whole milk
• 1 egg
• 1/2 cup grated Parmesan
• 3 cloves garlic, minced
• 1/4 cup chopped parsley
• 1 can (28 oz) crushed tomatoes
• 1 onion, diced
• 2 tbsp olive oil

Instructions

1. 1

   Tear the bread into the milk and let it soak until it falls apart, which is what keeps lean turkey from drying out.

2. 2

   Mix the soaked bread with the turkey, egg, Parmesan, garlic, parsley, and plenty of salt, handling it as lightly as you can.

3. 3

   Roll into golf-ball sized meatballs and brown them in oil on two sides, without cooking them through.

4. 4

   Soften the onion in the same pot, add the tomatoes, and simmer for ten minutes before returning the meatballs.

5. 5

   Cover and simmer gently for twenty-five minutes, turning them once, until they are cooked through and the sauce has thickened around them.
