Directions

Step 1 Form meatballs: Puree beans, carrot, sundried tomatoes, parsley and olive oil together in a food processor. Transfer to a mixing bowl and add Herbes de Provence, Onion & Garlic Tableside Sprinkle, Mayan Sea Salt, Coarse Black Malabar Pepper, egg, and ground turkey. Mix with hands until thoroughly combined. Refrigerate mixture for 30 min.

Step 2 Cook meatballs: Preheat oven to 375 degrees. Form meat mixture into 2-inch balls and set on a large parchment paper-lined baking sheet; you should get about 20 meatballs. Bake meatballs for 14 min., turning over halfway through. Remove from oven and let rest while you start marinara. (Or refrigerate meatballs for up to 24 hours, or freeze for up to a few months until ready to use.)

Step 3 Make marinara: Mix all ingredients together in a wide saucepan or skillet and bring to a boil. Add meatballs (ideally in a single layer) and simmer over low heat for at least 30 min. Serve warm over rice or pasta, or with toasted bread for dipping.
