Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 pound Ground turkey
- 0.5 cup Rolled oats
- 0.25 cup Unsalted chicken broth
- 1 Large egg
- 2 cloves Garlic, minced
- 0.5 cup Onion, finely chopped
- 1 teaspoon Dried oregano
- 1 teaspoon Dried thyme
- 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper
- 2 tablespoons Parsley, chopped
- 2 tablespoons Olive oil
Instructions
Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or lightly grease it with cooking spray.
In a large bowl, combine the rolled oats and unsalted chicken broth. Let it soak for about 5 minutes until the oats soften.
Add the ground turkey, egg, minced garlic, chopped onion, oregano, thyme, black pepper, and parsley to the bowl with the soaked oats.
Using clean hands or a spoon, mix the ingredients thoroughly until well combined.
Shape the mixture into meatballs, about 1.5 inches in diameter. You should have around 16 meatballs.
Heat the olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Once hot, add the meatballs in batches, browning them on all sides, about 5 minutes per batch.
Transfer the browned meatballs to the prepared baking sheet.
Bake in the preheated oven for 15-20 minutes, or until the meatballs are cooked through and reach an internal temperature of 165°F (75°C).
Serve warm as an appetizer, with whole grain pasta, or on a bed of mixed greens. Enjoy your low sodium savory turkey meatballs!
