Ingredients
- 1 pound ground turkey
- 0.5 cup breadcrumbs (preferably panko)
- 0.25 cup Parmesan cheese, grated
- 1 large egg
- 2 tablespoons milk
- 3 cloves garlic, minced
- 2 tablespoons fresh parsley, finely chopped
- 1 teaspoon dried oregano
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 0.5 teaspoon black pepper
- 2 tablespoons olive oil (for cooking)
Directions
Step 1
Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
Step 2
In a large mixing bowl, combine the ground turkey, breadcrumbs, Parmesan cheese, egg, milk, minced garlic, parsley, oregano, salt, and black pepper.
Step 3
Use your hands or a spatula to mix the ingredients until just combined. Be careful not to overmix to keep the meatballs tender.
Step 4
Using a tablespoon or small scoop, portion out the mixture and gently roll into 1.5-inch balls. Place them evenly spaced on the prepared baking sheet.
Step 5
Heat olive oil in a large non-stick skillet over medium heat. Working in batches, lightly brown the meatballs on all sides, about 2-3 minutes per side.
Step 6
Transfer the browned meatballs back to the prepared baking sheet and bake in the preheated oven for 10-12 minutes, or until the internal temperature reaches 165°F (74°C).
Step 7
Remove the meatballs from the oven and let them rest for 3-5 minutes before serving.
Step 8
Serve the meatballs warm with your favorite pasta, marinara sauce, or as an appetizer with a dipping sauce.
