Directions:
Make meatball patties: In a large bowl, add turkey, bread crumbs, pesto, salt, cheese, and egg. With fingers or a 2-prong long fork, lightly mix until well combined. Form meatballs using your hands or a cookie scoop (approximately 3 tablespoons of mixture per meatball) and place on a baking sheet. Use the bottom of a spatula, jar, or drinking glass to press each of the meatballs into a patty the same diameter of the slider buns.

In large skillet or Dutch oven over medium heat, stir together water and half of marinara sauce ; gently add meatball patties to sauce in single layer. Pour remaining sauce over top of patties. Bring to simmer and reduce heat to a low simmer; cover and cook for 40-60 minutes until completely cooked and tender.
