Ingredients
  

Meatball Ingredients
  • 2 pounds ground turkey (or ground beef or pork)
  • 1 piece egg
  • ¾ cup shredded mozzarella cheese
  • 1 teaspoon onion powder
  • 1 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 1 teaspoon Italian seasoning
  • 1 teaspoon salt
Casserole Toppings
  • 1 cup low-carb tomato sauce (no added sugar)
  • 1 cup shredded mozzarella cheese (for topping)
  • ½ cup grated parmesan cheese
  • Fresh basil or parsley, for garnish (optional)

Method
 

Preparation
  1. Set the oven to 400°F (200°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
  2. In a bowl, combine ground turkey, egg, ¾ cup mozzarella, onion powder, garlic powder, Italian seasoning, and salt. Mix until just combined—don’t overdo it!
  3. Form 1.5-inch meatballs, place them on the baking sheet, and bake for 25 minutes until cooked through.
Assembly
  1. Place baked meatballs in a casserole dish. Top with low-carb tomato sauce, remaining mozzarella, and parmesan.
  2. Bake uncovered for 15–20 minutes until cheese is melted and bubbly. Broil for an additional 2–3 minutes for that golden top!
  3. Let rest for 5 minutes. Garnish with basil or parsley and serve hot.

Notes

For storage, refrigerate leftovers in an airtight container for about 3–4 days or freeze for up to 3 months. Reheat in the oven at 350°F until heated through.
