Ingredients
1 lb ground turkey (454g)
½ cup dry breadcrumbs (55g)
½ cup grated Parmesan cheese (optional, 35g)
¼ cup milk
1 egg
1 tsp Italian seasoning
1 tsp salt
1 tsp minced garlic
½ tsp onion powder
¼ tsp black pepper
Instructions
Preheat oven to 400°F (200°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment or lightly grease it.
In a large bowl, combine all ingredients and mix gently until just combined—avoid overmixing to keep the meatballs tender.
Form into 1 to 1½ inch balls and place on the prepared baking sheet.
Bake for 18–20 minutes, or until cooked through and lightly golden.
Serve with your favorite sauce, pasta, or as-is for a protein-packed snack.
