Ingredients
- 500 grams Ground turkey
- 0.5 cup Breadcrumbs
- 0.25 cup Milk
- 0.5 cup Grated Parmesan cheese
- 1 large Egg
- 1 teaspoon Garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon Onion powder
- 1 teaspoon Salt
- 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper
- 2 tablespoons Chopped fresh parsley
- 2 tablespoons Olive oil
Directions
Step 1
In a small bowl, soak the breadcrumbs in the milk for about 5 minutes until the milk is absorbed.
Step 2
In a large mixing bowl, combine the ground turkey, soaked breadcrumbs, grated Parmesan cheese, egg, garlic powder, onion powder, salt, black pepper, and chopped parsley.
Step 3
Mix all ingredients together gently with your hands or a spatula until well combined. Be careful not to over mix as this can make the meatballs tough.
Step 4
Shape the mixture into meatballs, about 1.5 inches in diameter. You should have approximately 16 meatballs.
Step 5
Heat the olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat.
Step 6
Once the oil is shimmering, add the meatballs to the skillet without overcrowding. You may need to do this in batches depending on the size of your skillet.
Step 7
Cook the meatballs, turning occasionally, until they are browned on all sides and cooked through, about 12 to 15 minutes.
Step 8
Remove the meatballs from the skillet and place them on a paper towel-lined plate to drain any excess oil.
Step 9
Serve warm with your favorite sides or pasta, or add them to a tomato sauce for a classic spaghetti and meatballs dish.
