Step 1
Preheat the oven to 200°C (400°F). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.

Finely chop the onion and mince the garlic.
Step 3
In a large mixing bowl, combine the ground turkey, chopped onion, minced garlic, egg white, and breadcrumbs.

Mix everything together gently using your hands or a large spoon, ensuring that the ingredients are evenly distributed.

Lightly grease your hands with a little olive oil. Scoop about 1 tablespoon of mixture and shape it into a ball. Repeat with the remaining mixture, placing the meatballs onto the prepared baking sheet.
Step 8
Brush the remaining olive oil over the top of the meatballs.
Step 9
Bake in the preheated oven for 20 minutes, or until the meatballs are cooked through and golden brown.
