Turkey Pesto Meatballs

1 1/4 pound lean ground turkey
1/4 cup pesto (can make from scratch or buy in store!)
1/4 cup breadcrumbs
1/4 cup parmesan cheese
1 teaspoon salt
2 cups tomato sauce

Baking Instructions
1. Preheat oven to 350 degrees.
  1. 2. Place all the ingredients (except for the marinara sauce) in a bowl and using your hands, combine until everything is incorporated.
  2. 3. Using about 1 tablespoon of the mixture per meatball, roll into balls and place on a plate.
  3. 4. Pour the marinara sauce into a 9 x 9 inch baking pan and top with the meatballs.
  4. 5. Cover the baking pan with foil and bake for 20-25 minutes.
  5. 6. Serve.


To Freeze: Roll into balls and place on a cookie sheet and freeze. After 30 minutes place the par-frozen balls in a ziploc bag, label and freeze. When ready, defrost in fridge for 24 hours or put them straight in the oven with sauce increasing cooking time by 5 minutes.
