Ingredients
-
1 lb ground turkey
-
1 teaspoon italian seasoning
-
1 teaspoon salt
-
1 teaspoon black pepper
-
1/4 teaspoon crushed red pepper flakes
-
1/4 cup grated parmesan cheese
-
2 tablespoons fresh parsley
-
1 1/2 cups cherry tomatoes
-
3 tablespoons olive oil
-
2 teaspoons fresh rosemary, chopped
-
1/4 cup fresh basil leaf, sliced
-
1 large egg
-
4 ounces fresh mozzarella cheese, sliced
-
1/2 cup plain breadcrumbs
-
1 lb small red potato
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 400 degrees F. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper, grease with cooking spray, and set aside.
- In a large bowl, combine the turkey, egg, Italian seasoning, 1/2 teaspoon salt, 1/2 teaspoon black pepper, pepper flakes, bread crumbs, parmesan and parsley until evenly incorporated. Form into balls about the size of a golf ball and place on one side of the baking sheet.
- Scatter the tomatoes around the meatballs.
- Place the potatoes, in a single layer, on the other side of the baking sheet. Drizzle everything with olive oil and season the potatoes with the remaining salt and pepper.
- Roast in the oven for about 20 minutes, or until the potatoes are soft enough to smash. Give them a gently push down with a potato masher. Then drizzle with a bit more olive oil and sprinkle with chopped rosemary. Return to oven for another 10 minutes.
- Remove once more and top the meatballs and tomatoes with the cheese. Place under the broiler until melted through, about a minute. Top with basil and serve.
