Ingredients

1¼ pounds ground turkey
¼ cup pesto (I used store- bought
¼ cup breadcrumbs
¼ cup grated Parmesan cheese
1 teaspoon salt
2 cups marinara sauce (I used Classico Tomato- Basil)

Instructions

Preheat the oven to 350℉. Spray a 9x13-inch pan with nonstick spray.
Place the turkey, pesto, breadcrumbs, cheese and salt in a large bowl and use clean hands to combine them thoroughly.
Pour the sauce into the pan.
Using about 1 tablespoon or so per meatball, roll the mixture into balls and set them on top of the marinara sauce, creating rows.
Cover the baking pan with foil and bake for 20 to 25 minutes, or until cooked through. Mine took a little longer.
Serve over pasta or rice.
