Instructions
Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). Lightly grease a baking sheet with olive oil or use parchment paper.
In a large bowl, combine the ground turkey, breadcrumbs, and Parmesan cheese.
Add the egg and milk to the mixture and mix well with your hands or a spoon until fully combined.
Fold in the fresh parsley, minced garlic, chopped onion, salt, black pepper, and dried oregano.
Using your hands, shape the mixture into 1.5-inch meatballs and place them on the prepared baking sheet, spacing them evenly.
Brush the tops of the meatballs lightly with olive oil to help them brown nicely in the oven.
Bake in the preheated oven for 20 minutes or until the meatballs are cooked through and golden brown on the outside.

Serve the meatballs with your choice of pasta, in a sandwich, or as part of a party platter. Enjoy!
