hese Crockpot Turkey Meatballs in Marinara are an easy, crowd-pleasing dinner scaled just for two. They’re tender, flavorful, and come together with just a few pantry staples.

Once everything is in the slow cooker, dinner takes care of itself.

The ground turkey is light but still satisfying, and the Parmesan and Italian seasoning give the meatballs great flavor.

Cooking them slowly in marinara keeps them moist and lets the sauce soak in. Whether you’re serving them with pasta, zoodles, or just a hunk of garlic bread, they make a cozy, low-effort meal.

This is one of those recipes that feels classic but stays weeknight-friendly. No browning, no fuss, just simple comfort food with a healthy twist.

Make It a Meal

Serve your meatballs with:

• Spaghetti, zoodles, or your favorite pasta
• Garlic bread or a crusty roll for dipping in the sauce
• A side salad with Italian dressing to keep things fresh

Want a little extra flair? Top with shredded mozzarella or fresh basil before serving.
