Method
 

Step-by-Step Instructions
  1. Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
  2. In a large mixing bowl, combine ground turkey, egg, shredded mozzarella, onion powder, garlic powder, Italian seasoning, and salt. Mix gently until just combined.
  3. Shape the mixture into 1.5-inch meatballs and place them on the prepared baking sheet. Bake for 25 minutes until browned and cooked through.
  4. Transfer the baked meatballs into a greased baking dish. Pour the tomato sauce over them, then top with remaining mozzarella and all of the grated parmesan.
  5. Bake the assembled casserole uncovered for 15-20 minutes until cheese is melted and bubbly. Optionally, broil for 2-3 minutes for a crisped top.
  6. Let the casserole rest for 5 minutes, garnish with fresh basil or parsley, and serve hot.
