Cooking Steps
- Before starting, preheat the oven to 450°F.
Wash and dry all produce. - Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil over high.
- Drain, then roughly chop olives.
- To a large bowl, add turkey and breadcrumbs. Season with salt, then combine.
- Divide mixture in half. Roll one half of the mixture into 4 (8) equal-sized meatballs.
- Add olives to the remaning half of meat mixture, then combine. Roll mixture into 4 (8) equal-sized meatballs.
- On a parchment-lined baking sheet, arrange both set of meatballs. Roast in the middle of the oven for 10-12 min, or until browned and cooked through.**
- Meanwhile, core, then cut pepper into 1/2-inch pieces.
- Heat a large non-stick pan over medium-high. When hot, add 1 tbsp (2 tbsp) oil and peppers. Cook for 3-4 min, stirring often, until tender.
- Reduce heat to low, then add marinara sauce. Cook for 1-2 min, stirring often, until warmed through.
- To the boiling water, add tortellini. Cook for 2-4 min, stirring occasionally, until tender but still firm to the bite.
- Strain tortellini, then return to the pot, off heat. Add 1 tbsp (2 tbsp) butter, then toss to coat.
- To another large bowl, add half the tortellini, then top with pepper-marinara sauce and turkey meatballs without olives. Sprinkle half the Parmesan cheese over top. (NOTE: This is your child's portion.)
- To the pot with the remaining tortellini, add pesto, then toss to coat.
- Add pesto tortellini to another bowl, then top with olive meatballs, remaining pepper-marinara sauce and remaining Parmesan.

Review summary
Updated on Feb 2026- Flavor: The pesto tortellini was a favorite, while some found the marinara sauce overly acidic or tangy.
- Ease of prep: Quick and easy to prepare, though some found the parent-child meal instructions confusing.
- Suggestions: Consider adding cream to balance the acidity of the marinara sauce. Incorporate olives into all meatballs equally for better distribution.
- Portions: The recipe provides enough for multiple meals, with separate kid-friendly and adult versions.
- Meatballs: Turkey meatballs were bland for some; try adding more seasoning to enhance their flavour.
