Preheat oven to 400 degrees F. Line 15.5" by 10.5" jelly roll pan (or cookie sheet) with parchment paper or foil.

In medium bowl, with fingertips, mix turkey, bread crumbs, parsley, garlic, egg, and 1/4 cup Romano just until blended; do not overmix. Shape mixture into thirty six 1" balls. Place into prepared pan and cook for 20 minutes.

Meanwhile, heat large covered saucepot (4 qt) of water to boiling, over high heat. Add bow tie pasta and cook 2 minutes less than label directs. Drain pasta and return to saucepot.
