  1. Preheat oven to 400°F. In a large bowl, combine turkey, breadcrumbs, 1/2 cup Parmesan, 2 eggs, parsley, garlic, 1 teaspoon salt, 1/2 teaspoon pepper, and oregano. Form into 1-inch meatballs.
  2. Place meatballs on a greased baking sheet and bake for 18-20 minutes until cooked through. Remove and reduce oven to 375°F.
  3. In a bowl, mix ricotta, 1 egg, basil, remaining salt and pepper, and 1 cup mozzarella until smooth.
  4. Spread 1 1/2 cups marinara in a deep 9x13 inch baking dish. Layer 5 noodles, half the ricotta mixture, half the meatballs, 1 1/2 cups sauce, and 1 cup mozzarella. Repeat layers once.
  5. Top with remaining 5 noodles, remaining sauce, remaining mozzarella, and remaining Parmesan.
  6. Cover with foil and bake for 45 minutes. Uncover and bake 10 minutes more until cheese is melted and bubbly.
  7. Allow to rest for 20 minutes before slicing and serving.
