Cook spaghetti in a large pot of salted boiling water until al dente; drain and set aside.

Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C).

In a large bowl, combine ground turkey, bread crumbs, grated parmesan, egg, minced garlic, chopped onion, parsley, salt, and black pepper; mix until well combined.

Form mixture into meatballs, about the size of a golf ball.

Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat; brown meatballs on all sides, about 5-7 minutes.

Transfer browned meatballs to a baking dish and bake in the preheated oven for 15-20 minutes, until cooked through.

In the same skillet, add canned tomatoes, dried oregano, and red pepper flakes; simmer for 10 minutes.

Add baked meatballs to the tomato sauce; stir to coat.

Serve meatballs over spaghetti, garnished with additional parsley and parmesan if desired.
