Ingredients
- 1 pound ground turkey
- 0.5 cup gluten-free breadcrumbs
- 1 large egg
- 0.25 cup Parmesan cheese, grated
- 0.25 cup fresh parsley, chopped
- 0.5 cup onion, finely chopped
- 2 medium garlic cloves, minced
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 0.5 teaspoon black pepper
- 0.5 teaspoon oregano

Directions
Step 1
Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
Step 2
In a large mixing bowl, combine the ground turkey, gluten-free breadcrumbs, egg, Parmesan cheese, parsley, onion, garlic, salt, black pepper, oregano, and red pepper flakes if using.
Step 3
Mix the ingredients gently with your hands until just combined. Do not overmix, as this can make the meatballs tough.
Step 4
Use a small cookie scoop or your hands to form the mixture into 1.5-inch meatballs and place them onto the prepared baking sheet.
Step 5
Drizzle the olive oil over the tops of the meatballs or lightly brush them to ensure they are well-coated.
Step 6
Bake in the preheated oven for 20-25 minutes, or until the meatballs are cooked through and golden brown on the outside.
Step 7
Remove from the oven and let cool slightly before serving.
Step 8
Serve warm as an appetizer or over your favorite gluten-free pasta with marinara sauce for a hearty meal.
