- 0.25 cup Fresh parsley, chopped
- 1 tablespoon Dijon mustard
- 2 tablespoons Olive oil
- 1 teaspoon Salt
- 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper

Instructions
Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
In a large bowl, combine the ground turkey, gluten-free breadcrumbs, egg, chopped onion, minced garlic, chopped parsley, Dijon mustard, salt, black pepper, and smoked paprika.
Using your hands or a spatula, mix the ingredients until they are well incorporated, being careful not to overwork the meat.
Form the mixture into 1-1.5 inch meatballs and place them on the prepared baking sheet, making sure they are evenly spaced.
Drizzle the meatballs with olive oil to ensure they stay moist and develop a nice color while baking.
Bake the meatballs in the preheated oven for 20-25 minutes or until they are cooked through and reach an internal temperature of 165°F (75°C).
Remove the meatballs from the oven and let them rest for a few minutes before serving.
Serve hot with your favorite dipping sauce or as part of a main dish with pasta or a salad.
