2 Make the Meatballs
Finely crush butter crackers. In a mixing bowl, combine turkey, ⅔ the crushed crackers (reserve remaining for vegetables), ⅔ the mayonnaise, half the bacon (reserve remaining of both for bacon aioli), ¼ tsp. salt, and ¼ tsp. pepper. Form turkey mixture into six equally-sized meatballs.Place in empty space in tray. If using ground beef, Impossible Burger, or ground pork, follow same instructions.

3 Bake the Dish
Bake uncovered in hot oven until meatballs reach a minimum internal temperature of 165 degrees, 25-30 minutes. If using ground beef or ground pork, bake uncovered in hot oven until meatballs reach a minimum internal temperature of 160 degrees, 25-30 minutes. If using Impossible Burger, bake uncovered in hot oven until meatballs are heated through, 25-30 minutes. While meal bakes, combine remaining bacon and remaining mayonnaise in bacon container. Carefully remove from oven. Top meatballs with dollops of mayonnaise-bacon aioli and Swiss cheese. Top vegetables with Parmesan and remaining crushed crackers. Bake again, 4 minutes. Carefully remove from oven. Bon appétit!
