Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 500 grams lean ground turkey
- 60 grams rolled oats
- 1 large egg
- 1 medium, finely chopped onion
- 0.5 medium, finely chopped red bell pepper
- 2 cloves, minced garlic
- 15 ml Worcestershire sauce
- 0.5 teaspoon salt
- 0.25 teaspoon black pepper
- 1 teaspoon dried oregano
- 15 ml olive oil
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
In a large bowl, combine the ground turkey, rolled oats, egg, chopped onion, chopped red bell pepper, minced garlic, Worcestershire sauce, salt, black pepper, and dried oregano.
Mix all the ingredients together using your hands or a spatula until well combined.
Using your hands, form the mixture into small bite-sized balls, approximately 1.5 inches in diameter, and place them on the prepared baking sheet.
Brush the formed turkey bites lightly with olive oil to help them brown in the oven.
Bake in the preheated oven for 20 to 25 minutes, or until the turkey bites are cooked through and golden brown on the outside. To ensure they're done, the internal temperature should read 165°F (75°C) when tested with a meat thermometer.
Remove from the oven and let cool slightly before serving. Serve warm as a snack or appetizer, or cool completely and pack for a heart-healthy lunch on the go.
