Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 lb ground turkey
  • 1/2 cup breadcrumbs
  • 1/4 cup grated Parmesan cheese
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 large egg
  • 2 tablespoons fresh parsley, chopped
  • 1 teaspoon dried Italian seasoning
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
  2. In a large bowl, gently combine the ground turkey, breadcrumbs, Parmesan cheese, minced garlic, egg, parsley, Italian seasoning, salt, and pepper. Do not overmix.
  3. Roll the mixture into uniform, small meatballs, about 1 inch in diameter. You should get about 18-20 meatballs.
  4. Place the meatballs on the prepared baking sheet. Brush them lightly with olive oil.
  5. Bake for 18-20 minutes, or until the internal temperature reaches 165°F (74°C) and they are lightly browned.
  6. Serve immediately with your favorite sauce or as is.

Notes

  • For extra moisture, you can add 1 tablespoon of milk or water to the meatball mixture.
  • If you prefer a saucier meatball, brown them in a skillet before finishing them in simmering sauce.
  • Use lean or extra-lean ground turkey for lower fat content.
