Ingredients
- 1 lb Ground turkey
- 0.5 cup Breadcrumbs
- 0.25 cup Grated Parmesan cheese
- 1 piece Large egg
- 2 cloves Garlic, minced
- 2 tbsp Chopped fresh parsley
- 0.75 tsp Salt
- 0.5 tsp Black pepper
- 0.5 tsp Dried oregano
- 1 tbsp Olive oil (for greasing the baking sheet)
Directions
Step 1
Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C) and lightly grease a large baking sheet with olive oil or line it with parchment paper.
Step 2
In a large mixing bowl, combine the ground turkey, breadcrumbs, Parmesan cheese, egg, garlic, parsley, salt, black pepper, and oregano. Mix gently with your hands or a spatula until just combined. Do not overmix, as this can make the meatballs dense.
Step 3
Scoop about 1 1/2 tablespoons of the mixture and roll it into a ball between your hands. Repeat with the remaining mixture to form approximately 18–20 meatballs.
Step 4
Arrange the meatballs on the prepared baking sheet, spacing them evenly apart.
Step 5
Bake in the preheated oven for 18–20 minutes, or until the internal temperature of the meatballs reaches 165°F (74°C) as measured by a meat thermometer.
Step 6
Remove the meatballs from the oven and let them rest for 5 minutes before serving.
Step 7
Serve the baked turkey meatballs with your favorite marinara sauce, pasta, or a fresh side salad. Enjoy!
