Turkey Parmesan Meatballs

• 1 pound lean ground turkey
• 2 tsp onion powder
• 1 tsp garlic powder
• 2 tsp dried oregano
• 1/2 tsp red pepper flakes
• 1 tsp salt
• 1 medium free range egg
• 1 slice of stale rustic white bread
• 2 TBS milk
• 1 TBS minced fresh parsley
• 1 TBS freshly grated Parmesan Cheese

• 1 jar of your favourite marinara sauce (about 1 1/2 cups)
• 120g grated four cheese blend (1 cup)
• 45g freshly grated Parmesan cheese (1/4 cup)

1. Preheat the oven to 200*C/400*F gas mark 6.  Lightly butter a shallow baking dish large enough to hold all of the meatballs in one layer.
2. Tear bread and put it into a bowl with the milk. Let set for a few minutes, then squeeze out all of the milk. Put it into a bowl along with the remaining meatball ingredients.  Mix well to combine and then shape ino 20 walnut sized meatballs.  Place into the prepared baking dish.
3. Roast in the preheated oven for about 15 minutes until golden brown.  Remove from the oven and spoon the marinara sauce around and over top of the meatballs.  Sprinkle with the four cheese blend and the  Parmesan cheese.  Return to the oven and bake for a further 15 minutes, until the sauce is bubbling and the cheese has melted. 
4. Serve hot with either pasta or rice.
