Giant Turkey Meatball Parmesan

This Giant Turkey Meatball isn’t your regular meatball, is HUGE, baked in the oven similar to how you would make a meatloaf, then topped with marinara and melted cheese. I usually divide into 4 equal portions prior to baking for faster, more even cooking and easier serving.

Ingredients

  • 1 lb 93% lean ground turkey

  • 1/3 cup seasoned breadcrumbs

  • 3 tbsp grated pecorino-romano cheese

  • 1 large egg

  • 1 clove crushed garlic

  • 2 tsp tomato paste

  • 1 tbsp fresh minced parsley

  • 1/2 teaspoon kosher salt

  • 1/3 cup Delallo Pomodoro Fresco Marinara

  • 1 oz 1/4 cup shredded mozzarella cheese

  • grated parmesan, optional for topping

Directions

  • Preheat the oven to 350°F.

  • In a medium bowl combine turkey, breadcrumbs, pecorino, egg, garlic, tomato paste, parsley and salt and gently mix to combine. Form into an oval loaf using your hands, slightly flattened at the top on a nonstick baking sheet. Bake uncovered 50 to 55 minutes, or until it’s cooked in the center and the internal temperature of 160 °F with a thermometer. Remove from oven, top with marinara and cheese and bake 3 to 5 minutes until the sauce is hot and the cheese is melted.

  • Serve with more warmed sauce on the side if desired.
