Can be made with ground turkey. Substitute your favorite herb-infused olive oil. Adapted from delish.com
Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F. In a large bowl, combine ground meat, 1/2 of the garlic, egg, balsamic, bread crumbs, and 2 tablespoons parsley. Season with salt and pepper and stir until combined. Form into 25-30 evenly sized balls.
In a large skillet over medium-high heat, add 1 tablespoon of olive oil. Cook meatballs, in batches, if needed, until no longer pink. 6-7 minutes, then drain on a paper towel. If meatballs are getting too dark, turn heat down until they are done cooking.
Grease the bottom of a 9x13 baking dish with olive oil. Place baguette slices in an even layer on the bottom of the dish. Drizzle the top with more olive oil. Place the dish with bread in the oven for 4-6 minutes until the bread begins to toast.
Remove the dish from the oven and season the bread with the spice blend and remaining garlic. Top with 1 cup of mozzarella, an even layer of marinara, then the meatballs, and top with the remaining cheese.
Bake until cheese is melty, 12-15 minutes. Garnish with parlsey before serving.
