4 servings

- 1 lb ground turkey
- ⅓ cup gluten free breadcrumbs
- ¼ cup parmesan cheese, finely grated

Chef's tipFor each egg, mix 1 tbsp ground flaxseed with 3 tbsp water and let it sit until it thickens. It holds ingredients together but won't make things rise - best in pancakes, muffins, and cookies. - 2 tbsp milk
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 tsp dried oregano
- ½ tsp dried basil
- ½ tsp salt
- ¼ tsp black pepper
- 2 tbsp olive oil
For the marinara

- 2 tbsp olive oil
- ½ tsp dried oregano
