Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 500 grams ground turkey breast
- 1 large egg white
- 50 grams whole grain bread crumbs
- 1 small finely chopped onion
- 2 cloves minced garlic
- 2 tablespoons fresh parsley
- 1 teaspoon dried oregano
- 0.5 teaspoon salt
- 0.25 teaspoon black pepper
- cooking spray
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper or lightly grease with cooking spray.
In a large bowl, combine the ground turkey breast, egg white, bread crumbs, finely chopped onion, minced garlic, parsley, oregano, salt, and black pepper.
Mix the ingredients together thoroughly using your hands or a spoon until all the ingredients are evenly distributed.
Scoop out a tablespoon of the mixture and roll it into a ball. Place the meatball on the prepared baking sheet.
Repeat the process with the remaining mixture, leaving a small gap between each meatball on the baking sheet.
Once all the meatballs are formed, lightly spray them with cooking spray to help them brown in the oven.
Bake the meatballs in the preheated oven for 15 to 20 minutes, or until they are cooked through and lightly browned.
Remove the baking sheet from the oven and allow the meatballs to cool slightly before serving.
Serve the meatballs warm as an appetizer with a dipping sauce of your choice or add them to pasta or a salad for a light meal.
