Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 500 grams lean ground turkey
- 1 large egg white
- 30 grams rolled oats (blended into oat flour)
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- 0.5 medium yellow onion, finely chopped
- 2 tablespoons fresh parsley, chopped
- 1 teaspoon dried oregano
- 0.5 teaspoon salt
- 0.25 teaspoon black pepper
- cooking spray
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
In a large mixing bowl, combine the lean ground turkey, egg white, oat flour, minced garlic, chopped onion, parsley, oregano, salt, and pepper. Mix thoroughly until all ingredients are evenly incorporated.
Using a tablespoon or a small scoop, portion out the mixture and roll it into bite-sized meatballs. Place each meatball on the prepared baking sheet, making sure to leave a little space between them.
Lightly spray the meatballs with cooking spray to help them brown in the oven.
Bake the meatballs in the preheated oven for 18-20 minutes or until the internal temperature reaches 165°F (74°C).
Remove from the oven and let the meatballs rest for 5 minutes before serving.
Serve with your favorite low-calorie marinara sauce, over zucchini noodles, or as a healthy snack on their own.
