Ingredients
- 16 ounces Ground turkey (93% lean)
- 0.5 cups Rolled oats
- 1 large Egg white
- 0.5 cups Onion (finely chopped)
- 2 cloves Garlic (minced)
- 1 tablespoons Worcestershire sauce
- 1 teaspoons Dried parsley
- 0.5 teaspoons Dried oregano
- 0.5 teaspoons Salt
- 0.25 teaspoons Black pepper
- 0 optional Olive oil spray (for baking sheet)
Directions
Step 1
Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper or lightly spray it with olive oil.
Step 2
In a large mixing bowl, combine the ground turkey, rolled oats, egg white, finely chopped onion, minced garlic, Worcestershire sauce, dried parsley, dried oregano, salt, and pepper.
Step 3
Mix the ingredients together until thoroughly combined. Avoid overmixing, as this can make the meatballs tough.
Step 4
Using clean hands or a small cookie scoop, portion out the mixture into 1 1/2-inch meatballs. You should get approximately 16 meatballs.
Step 5
Place the meatballs on the prepared baking sheet, ensuring they are evenly spaced and not touching.
Step 6
Bake in the preheated oven for 18-20 minutes, or until the internal temperature of the meatballs reaches 165°F (74°C).
Step 7
Remove the meatballs from the oven and let them rest for 2-3 minutes before serving.
Step 8
Serve with your favorite low-calorie marinara sauce, over zoodles, or alongside a fresh salad for a healthy meal.
