Ingredients
- 1 pound ground turkey
- 1/2 cup breadcrumbs
- 1/4 cup grated Parmesan cheese
- 1/4 cup finely chopped onion
- 2 cloves garlic minced
- 1/4 cup chopped fresh parsley
- 1 large egg lightly beaten
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 1/2 teaspoon black pepper
- 1/2 teaspoon dried oregano

Instructions
- In a large bowl, combine the ground turkey, breadcrumbs, Parmesan cheese, onion, garlic, parsley, egg, salt and pepper. Mix well using your hands or a large spoon until all ingredients are evenly distributed.
- Shape the turkey mixture into meatballs, about 1 1/2 inches in diameter. You should have around 20-24 meatballs.
- Pour half of the marinara sauce into the bottom of a 6-quart slow cooker.
- Place the turkey meatballs in a single layer on top of the sauce in the slow cooker.
- Pour the remaining marinara sauce evenly over the meatballs.
- Cover the slow cooker and cook on low for 4 hours, or until the meatballs are cooked through and have reached an internal temperature of 165°F.
- Gently stir the meatballs to coat them evenly with the sauce. Garnish with chopped fresh basil, if desired.

Notes
- Breadcrumbs help bind the meatballs together and add texture. You can use plain or Italian-seasoned breadcrumbs, it doesn’t matter. The seasoned breadcrumbs will give you more flavor.
