Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper or lightly grease it with cooking spray.
In a large mixing bowl, combine the ground turkey, breadcrumbs, egg, garlic powder, onion powder, dried parsley, salt, and black pepper. Mix gently until just combined, being careful not to overmix.
Use a tablespoon or your hands to shape the mixture into 1-inch meatballs and place them onto the prepared baking sheet, making sure they are evenly spaced.
Bake the meatballs in the preheated oven for 15-20 minutes, or until they are cooked through and reach an internal temperature of 165°F (74°C).
While the meatballs are baking, prepare the honey mustard glaze. In a small bowl, whisk together the honey, Dijon mustard, yellow mustard, and apple cider vinegar until smooth.
Once the meatballs are finished cooking, heat the olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add the cooked meatballs to the skillet and pour the honey mustard sauce over them.
Toss the meatballs gently in the skillet until they are fully coated with the sauce and warmed through, about 2-3 minutes.
Serve the meatballs immediately as an appetizer with toothpicks or pair them with rice, mashed potatoes, or roasted vegetables for a main course.
