Ingredients
- 1 pound Ground turkey
- 0.5 cup Plain breadcrumbs
- 1 large Egg
- 0.25 cup Unsalted chicken broth
- 1 teaspoon Onion powder
- 1 teaspoon Garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon Dried Italian herbs
- 2 tablespoons Fresh parsley, chopped
- 0.25 teaspoon Black pepper
- 2 tablespoons Olive oil
Directions
Step 1
Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). Prepare a baking sheet by lining it with parchment paper.
Step 2
In a large mixing bowl, combine the ground turkey, breadcrumbs, egg, and unsalted chicken broth.
Step 3
Add the onion powder, garlic powder, dried Italian herbs, chopped fresh parsley, and black pepper to the mixture. Use your hands or a spoon to mix until just combined. Be careful not to over-mix as this can make the meatballs tough.
Step 4
Shape the mixture into 1.5-inch meatballs, using about 2 tablespoons of the mixture for each meatball. You should have approximately 16 meatballs.
Step 5
In a large skillet, heat the olive oil over medium heat. Once hot, add the meatballs to the skillet in batches, being careful not to crowd the pan, and sear them until they are browned on all sides, about 3-4 minutes.
Step 6
Transfer the seared meatballs to the prepared baking sheet. Bake in the preheated oven for 15-20 minutes, or until the internal temperature reaches 165°F (75°C).
Step 7
Remove from the oven and let the meatballs rest for a few minutes before serving.
Step 8
Serve the meatballs with your choice of low sodium sauce or as a part of a full meal with vegetables or pasta.
