Ingredients
  

  • 1 lb ground turkey
  • 1 tsp kosher salt
  • ¼ tsp white pepper
  • 1 tsp rosemary fresh chopped
  • 2 tbsp Parmigiano-Reggiano cheese grated
  • 1 tbsp garlic minced
  • 1 tsp Italian seasoning
  • ¼ cup butter
  • 1 tbsp olive oil
  • 1 tbsp garlic thinly sliced
  • 6 portions cooked pasta
  • 1 cup Parmigiano-Reggiano cheese
  • ½ cup cream
  • ½ tsp salt
  • ¼ tsp black pepper

Instructions
 

  • Preheat your oven to 400°F.
  • In a medium mixing bowl, combine the turkey with the salt, white pepper, rosemary, parmesan cheese, garlic, and Italian seasoning. Mix well.
  • Wet your hands with cold water and roll the turkey in small balls using about 1 tbsp of the turkey mix for each ball. In total, you should get between 20 and 24 turkey meatballs.
  • Put the meatballs in a roasting pan lightly coated with olive oil and cook in the oven for 15 minutes.
  • Heat a large non-stick pan over medium-high heat. Add in the butter and olive oil. Once the butter melts and starts to foam, add in the turkey meatballs and cook for 2-3 minutes to brown the outside.
  • Add in the garlic and cook for 1 minute, then add cooked pasta, parmesan and cream.
  • Turn the heat down to medium-low and stir the pasta until all of the parmesan has melted and the sauce is creamy.
  • Season the pasta with salt and pepper and serve.
