Instructions
Preheat oven to 375 degrees F. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or a silicone baking mat; set aside.
In a large bowl, combine ground turkey, Panko, Parmesan, garlic powder, oregano, red pepper flakes, egg and parsley. Using a wooden spoon or clean hands, stir until well combined. Roll the mixture into 2-inch meatballs, forming about 8-10 meatballs.
Place meatballs onto prepared baking sheet and bake for 12-15 minutes, or until all sides are browned and meatballs are cooked through.
Preheat oven to broil.
To assemble the slider, place 1 meatball and a spoonful of marinara on the bottom of each bun. Top with mozzarella and place into oven and bake until cheese has melted, about 1-2 minutes.
Serve immediately, topped with 1-2 basil leaves and covered with the slider tops.
