In a small bowl, soak the breadcrumbs in the milk for about 5 minutes until the milk is absorbed.
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.
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.
Shape the mixture into meatballs, about 1.5 inches in diameter. You should have approximately 16 meatballs.
Heat the olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat.
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.
Cook the meatballs, turning occasionally, until they are browned on all sides and cooked through, about 12 to 15 minutes.
Remove the meatballs from the skillet and place them on a paper towel-lined plate to drain any excess oil.
Serve warm with your favorite sides or pasta, or add them to a tomato sauce for a classic spaghetti and meatballs dish.
