Ingredients

  • 1 pound ground turkey
  • 1 egg
  • ¼ cup breadcrumbs
  • ½ teaspoon onion powder
  • ½ teaspoon garlic powder
  • 2 teaspoons dried oregano
  • 2 teaspoons dried parsley
  • ½ cup shredded mozzarella
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil
  • 2 garlic cloves
  • 1 28-ounce can crushed San Marzano tomatoes
  • ½ pound dried fettuccine pasta
  • Shredded parmesan cheese

Instructions

  1. In a large bowl, mix the ground turkey together with the egg, breadcrumbs, onion powder, garlic powder, dried oregano, dried parsley and shredded mozzarella until combined. Form the mix into 2 inch size meatballs with your hands, creating between 12-14.
  2. Place a large skillet or Dutch oven on the stove and turn the heat to medium high. Add the garlic and cook for 2 minutes. Stir in the San Marzano tomatoes, then gently place the meatballs into the pan.

  4. Meanwhile, heat a large pot of water to boil. Cook the pasta per the package directions until al dente. Drain and set aside.
  5. Plate the pasta and top with meatballs and sauce. Sprinkle shredded parmesan on top and serve
