Recipe Information
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)
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C) and lightly grease a large baking sheet with olive oil or line it with parchment paper.
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.
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.
Arrange the meatballs on the prepared baking sheet, spacing them evenly apart.
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.
Remove the meatballs from the oven and let them rest for 5 minutes before serving.
Serve the baked turkey meatballs with your favorite marinara sauce, pasta, or a fresh side salad. Enjoy!
