Sheet-Pan Turkey Meatball with smoked paprika

Method

1. Gather and prep everything first: chicken thighs, olive oil, garlic and set within reach of the stove.
2. Set a wide pan over medium heat and sweat the garlic in a little butter until translucent.
3. Turn the heat up, add the turkey meatball, and cook until deeply browned and aromatic.
4. Fold in the black pepper and season generously; give everything a minute to come together.
5. Add the crushed tomatoes and let it reduce until it just coats the back of a spoon.
6. Off the heat, brighten it up with cracked black pepper and a final crack of pepper.
7. Plate it up while hot and pass extra at the table.
