Turkey Pesto Meatball Sheet Pan Dinner Recipes

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 375 degrees F (190 degrees C). Lightly grease a sheet pan.
• Combine turkey, bread crumbs, pesto, Pecorino Romano cheese, egg, salt, and pepper in a mixing bowl and mix with your hands until well combined.
• Roll mixture into small, walnut-sized meatballs. Place onto the prepared pan.
• Bake in the preheated oven until no longer pink in the centers, 20 to 25 minutes.

Steps:

• Heat oven to 375°F. Line cookie sheet with sides or 15x10-inch pan with foil; spray foil with cooking spray.
• In large bowl, mix all ingredients until well combined. Shape mixture into balls; place on cookie sheet.
• Bake 20 to 25 minutes or until thermometer inserted in center of meatballs reads 165°F.

Steps:

• In a large bowl, mix together ground turkey (preferably dark meat), pesto, panko breadcrumbs, lightly whisked egg, grated Parmigiano-Reggiano, kosher salt, and freshly ground pepper with a fork until just combined. Cover with plastic wrap; refrigerate.
• Heat smashed and peeled garlic clove in a saucepan over medium-high until fragrant, about 30 seconds; add low-sodium chicken broth and fresh basil. Bring to a boil, then reduce heat to medium and simmer, partially covered, 10 minutes. Form turkey mixture into tablespoon-size balls. Remove basil and garlic from liquid; gently drop in meatballs. Remove from heat; let stand, covered, until meatballs are cooked through, about 8 minutes. Stir in chopped escarole. Serve immediately with more Parmigiano-Reggiano and pepper, and drizzled with more pesto.

Steps:

• Preheat an oven to 375 degrees F (190 degrees C).
• Place the ground turkey, onion, garlic, egg, bread crumbs, Parmigiano-Reggiano cheese, parsley, pesto, milk, salt, and black pepper in a bowl. Mix until evenly blended, then form into 1 3/4-inch meatballs. Make a hole in the meatball with your finger and place a cheese cube in the hole. Seal the meatball around the cheese and place on a nonstick baking sheet. Drizzle the olive oil over the meatballs.
• Bake in the preheated oven until the meatballs are no longer pink in the center, about 30 minutes. Heat the marinara sauce in a saucepan over low heat. Bring to a simmer, and place the baked meatballs in the marinara sauce for about 2 minutes.

Steps:

• In a bowl, mix the turkey with the breadcrumbs, 1/2 cup pesto, the milk and grated Parmesan; form into small balls.
• Heat a thin layer of olive oil in a nonstick skillet over medium heat. Cook the meatballs until just browned, then add the chicken broth and remaining 1/4 cup pesto and simmer until cooked through. Stir in the heavy cream and simmer until the sauce is slightly thickened.

Steps:

• Spread 1 cup pasta sauce over bottom of heavy medium skillet. Mix turkey, breadcrumbs, pesto, egg white and salt in medium bowl. Using moistened hands, form mixture into 8 meatballs. Place meatballs in single layer in sauce. Spoon remaining sauce over. Bring to simmer. Cover; reduce heat to medium-low and simmer until meatballs are cooked through, stirring occasionally, about 20 minutes.
• Meanwhile, cook pasta in large pot of boiling salted water until just tender but still firm to bite. Drain pasta; divide between bowls. Top with meatballs and sauce.
