Ingredients

  • 2 teaspoons Melt® Organic Buttery Spread, softened

  • 1 ½ pounds ground lean turkey

  • ⅔ cup dry Italian bread crumbs

  • ⅓ cup chopped fresh parsley

  • ¼ cup shredded Parmesan cheese

  • ¼ cup tomato sauce

  • 3 cloves garlic, minced

  • 3 tablespoons chopped fresh oregano

  • 2 teaspoons chopped fresh rosemary

  • 1 teaspoon dry mustard

  • ½ teaspoon cayenne pepper

  • ¼ teaspoon salt

Directions

  1. Preheat the oven to 400 degrees. Grease a broiler pan with buttery spread.

  2. Mix ground turkey, bread crumbs, parsley, Parmesan, tomato sauce, garlic, oregano, rosemary, mustard, cayenne, and salt together in a large bowl until well combined. Form mixture into 30 meatballs; place onto the prepared pan.
