Ingredients
- 500 grams ground turkey breast
- 1 large egg white
- 50 grams whole grain bread crumbs
- 1 small finely chopped onion
- 2 cloves minced garlic
- 2 tablespoons fresh parsley
- 1 teaspoon dried oregano
- 0.5 teaspoon salt
- 0.25 teaspoon black pepper

Directions
Step 1
Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper or lightly grease with cooking spray.
Step 2
In a large bowl, combine the ground turkey breast, egg white, bread crumbs, finely chopped onion, minced garlic, parsley, oregano, salt, and black pepper.
Step 3
Mix the ingredients together thoroughly using your hands or a spoon until all the ingredients are evenly distributed.
Step 4
Scoop out a tablespoon of the mixture and roll it into a ball. Place the meatball on the prepared baking sheet.
Step 5
Repeat the process with the remaining mixture, leaving a small gap between each meatball on the baking sheet.
Step 6
Once all the meatballs are formed, lightly spray them with cooking spray to help them brown in the oven.
Step 7
Bake the meatballs in the preheated oven for 15 to 20 minutes, or until they are cooked through and lightly browned.
Step 8
Remove the baking sheet from the oven and allow the meatballs to cool slightly before serving.
