Add the turkey, then mix using a fork to fully mix, careful not to overwork. Form the mixture into 18 meatballs.
Heat a large nonstick skillet over medium heat. When hot, spray with oil and brown the meatballs for about 5 to 6 minutes on each side. Set aside on a dish.
Reduce the heat to medium-low, add the oil and garlic, then cook for about 1 to 2 minutes, until golden.
Add the tomatoes, salt, and pepper to taste. Return the meatballs to the skillet.
Partially cover and simmer medium-low for about 5 minutes until cooked through.
Uncover, top with mozzarella cheese, cover, then cook for about 2 minutes until melted. If the skillet doesn’t have a cover, put it under the broiler for about 2 to 3 minutes, until melted.
Serve warm, and enjoy!
