    Title: Turkey Meatballs In Tomato Sauce
    Categories: Poultry, Breads, Vegetables, Herbs
    Yield: 5 servings

    1/2 c Grated Parmesan cheese, more
    - for serving, if desired
    1/2 c Panko or other plain dried
    - bread crumbs
    1/4 c Minced onion
    1/4 c Chopped chives or basil
    2 cl Garlic; grated on a
    - microplane or minced
    1 1/2 ts Kosher salt
    1/2 ts Black pepper
    1/2 ts Dried oregano
    pn Red pepper flakes (opt)
    1 1/2 lb Ground turkey; very cold
    1 lg Egg; beaten
    3 tb Extra-virgin olive oil; more
    - as needed
    3 c Marinara sauce; more to
    - taste

    In a large bowl, combine cheese, bread crumbs, onion,
    chives, garlic, salt, pepper, oregano and red pepper
    flakes, if using, and mix well. Add turkey and egg and
    blend with your hands until well mixed. If youΓÇÖve got
    time, cover mixture and chill for an hour or up to 24
    hours. These are easiest to form into balls while very
    cold. Form into 28 meatballs, each about 1 1/4" in
    diameter.

    Heat 2 tablespoons of the oil in a large sauté pan. When
    hot, add enough of the meatballs to fit in one layer
    without crowding, and brown on all sides, 5 to 8
    minutes. Transfer to a plate, add another tablespoon of
    oil to pan and brown another layer of meatballs,
    transferring them to the plate as they brown. Repeat
    until all meatballs are browned, adding more oil to the
    pan as needed.

    When meatballs are all browned, add marinara sauce to
    pan and bring to a simmer, scraping up the browned bits
    on the pan bottom. Return meatballs and their juices to
    pan, shake pan to cover the meatballs with sauce, and
    lower heat. Partly cover pan and simmer until the
    meatballs are cooked through, 15 to 20 minutes.

    Serve hot, drizzled with more olive oil and sprinkled
    with more cheese, if you like.
