Ingredients

Main ingredients

  • 1 lb lean ground turkey
  • 1/2 cup grated parmesan cheese
  • 1/2 cup breadcrumbs
  • 1/4 cup chopped parsley
  • 1 piece egg
  • 1 clove garlic, minced
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • 1/2 teaspoon black pepper
  • 1/2 teaspoon Italian seasoning
  • 1/4 cup milk

Instructions

Preparation

  • Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C).
  • In a large bowl, thoroughly combine the ground turkey, parmesan cheese, breadcrumbs, parsley, egg, minced garlic, salt, black pepper, Italian seasoning, and milk. Mix until fully incorporated.
  • Using your hands, form the mixture into individual meatballs and arrange them on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper.
  • Bake in the preheated oven for 20-25 minutes, or until the meatballs are cooked through and have a golden-brown exterior.

Notes

For best results, keep the mixture moist. You can add a splash of milk if it seems dry. Feel free to add chopped spinach or switch ground turkey with lean ground beef or chicken. Create an assembly line for quicker prep.
