Ingredients
- 1 pound Ground turkey
- 0.5 cup Gluten-free breadcrumbs
- 0.25 cup Parmesan cheese, grated
- 1 large Egg
- 0.5 cup Onion, finely chopped
- 2 units Garlic cloves, minced
- 2 tablespoons Fresh parsley, chopped
- 0.75 teaspoon Salt
- 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper
- 2 tablespoons Olive oil
- 2 cups Marinara sauce (for serving, optional)
Directions
Step 1
Preheat the oven to 400°F (200°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or lightly grease it with a little olive oil.
Step 2
In a large mixing bowl, combine the ground turkey, gluten-free breadcrumbs, grated Parmesan cheese, egg, finely chopped onion, minced garlic, chopped fresh parsley, salt, and black pepper.
Step 3
Mix all the ingredients together gently with your hands or a spatula until well combined. Avoid over-mixing, as this can make the meatballs tough.
Step 4
Scoop about 1 1/2 tablespoons of the turkey mixture and shape it into a ball using your hands. Place each meatball on the prepared baking sheet. Repeat until all the mixture is used.
Step 5
Drizzle the meatballs with the olive oil to help them brown in the oven.
Step 6
Bake in the preheated oven for 20-25 minutes, or until the meatballs are cooked through and have a golden-brown exterior. The internal temperature should reach 165°F (74°C).
Step 7
Remove the meatballs from the oven and serve them with warm marinara sauce, if desired. Enjoy!
