Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 pound Ground turkey
- 2 tablespoons Olive oil
- 1 medium, finely chopped Onion
- 3 cloves, minced Garlic cloves
- 1 large Egg
- 0.5 cup Panko breadcrumbs
- 0.25 cup, chopped Fresh parsley
- 1 tablespoon Dijon mustard
- 1 teaspoon Salt
- 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper
- 0.5 teaspoon Paprika
- 1 tablespoon Worcestershire sauce
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper or lightly grease it.
In a small skillet over medium heat, warm 1 tablespoon of olive oil.
Add the chopped onion to the skillet and sauté for 4-5 minutes until softened and translucent.
Stir in the minced garlic and cook for an additional 1-2 minutes until fragrant. Remove the skillet from heat and let it cool slightly.
In a large mixing bowl, combine the ground turkey, sautéed onions and garlic, egg, panko breadcrumbs, parsley, Dijon mustard, salt, black pepper, paprika, and Worcestershire sauce.
Mix everything gently with your hands or a spatula until just combined. Be careful not to overmix as it can make the meatballs tough.
Using your hands, scoop and form the mixture into balls about the size of a golf ball, placing them onto the prepared baking sheet.
Brush the remaining tablespoon of olive oil over the meatballs to help them brown.
Bake in the preheated oven for 20-25 minutes until the meatballs are cooked through and golden brown on the outside.
Remove from the oven and allow the meatballs to rest for a few minutes before serving.
Serve these savory turkey meatballs with your favorite sauce, pasta, salad, or as a delicious appetizer.
