Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 pound ground turkey
- 0.5 cup gluten-free breadcrumbs
- 1 large egg
- 0.25 cup Parmesan cheese, grated
- 0.25 cup fresh parsley, chopped
- 0.5 cup onion, finely chopped
- 2 medium garlic cloves, minced
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 0.5 teaspoon black pepper
- 0.5 teaspoon oregano
- 0.25 teaspoon red pepper flakes (optional)
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
In a large mixing bowl, combine the ground turkey, gluten-free breadcrumbs, egg, Parmesan cheese, parsley, onion, garlic, salt, black pepper, oregano, and red pepper flakes if using.
Mix the ingredients gently with your hands until just combined. Do not overmix, as this can make the meatballs tough.
Use a small cookie scoop or your hands to form the mixture into 1.5-inch meatballs and place them onto the prepared baking sheet.
Drizzle the olive oil over the tops of the meatballs or lightly brush them to ensure they are well-coated.
Bake in the preheated oven for 20-25 minutes, or until the meatballs are cooked through and golden brown on the outside.
Remove from the oven and let cool slightly before serving.
Serve warm as an appetizer or over your favorite gluten-free pasta with marinara sauce for a hearty meal.
