directions
1. Stir together breadcrumbs, egg, and red pepper in a medium bowl until a paste forms. Mix in turkey, 1/4 cup cheese, 1/4 cup basil, garlic, and salt. Using a tablespoon, portion and shape mixture into meatballs.
2. Heat oil in a large nonstick skillet over medium-high heat until shimmering. Add meatballs and brown all over, about 10 minutes. Reduce heat to medium and stir in sauce. Cover and simmer until meatballs are cooked through, 8 to 10 minutes.
3. Meanwhile, place a rack in the uppermost part of oven. Arrange bread slices on a baking sheet, top evenly with remaining 3/4 cup cheese, and broil until golden brown, about 2 minutes.
4. Transfer meatballs and sauce to a serving bowl, top with remaining 1/4 cup basil, and serve with toasts.
