In a medium size mixing bowl, add the ground turkey meat.
Add in all the remaining ingredients, except the marinara sauce.
Mix thoroughly to combine. Cover and refrigerate 20 to 30 minutes to allow the flavors to marry.
Note: The mixture will be soft but not wet and runny. Refrigerating will help the shaping process easier.

Use some extra virgin olive oil to lightly grease an ovenproof dish large enough to fit the meatballs and sauce.
Shape the meatballs about 2 inches round. Or adjust the size to your preference. Add the meatballs to the greased baking dish.
Note: This 2 inch size cooks perfectly for the recommended time, so if you change the size you'll need to adjust cook time.
Bake the meatballs for 15 minutes until the top starts to brown slightly.
Remove the meatballs from the oven - it should have released quite a bit of juices.
Pour the sauce all over the meatballs. Bake for another 15 minutes to marry the sauce with the juices from the turkey.
Remove from the oven and enjoy over your favorite pasta. Enjoy.
