Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 pound Ground turkey
- 0.5 cup Gluten-free breadcrumbs
- 0.25 cup Parmesan cheese, grated
- 1 large Egg
- 0.5 cup Onion, finely chopped
- 2 units Garlic cloves, minced
- 2 tablespoons Fresh parsley, chopped
- 0.75 teaspoon Salt
- 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper
- 2 tablespoons Olive oil
- 2 cups Marinara sauce (for serving, optional)
Instructions
Preheat the oven to 400°F (200°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or lightly grease it with a little olive oil.
In a large mixing bowl, combine the ground turkey, gluten-free breadcrumbs, grated Parmesan cheese, egg, finely chopped onion, minced garlic, chopped fresh parsley, salt, and black pepper.
Mix all the ingredients together gently with your hands or a spatula until well combined. Avoid over-mixing, as this can make the meatballs tough.
Scoop about 1 1/2 tablespoons of the turkey mixture and shape it into a ball using your hands. Place each meatball on the prepared baking sheet. Repeat until all the mixture is used.
Drizzle the meatballs with the olive oil to help them brown in the oven.
Bake in the preheated oven for 20-25 minutes, or until the meatballs are cooked through and have a golden-brown exterior. The internal temperature should reach 165°F (74°C).
Remove the meatballs from the oven and serve them with warm marinara sauce, if desired. Enjoy!
