Ground turkey meatballs are the best, easy dinner recipe! They’re quick, healthy, versatile and completely delicious. Pair these perfectly tender and flavor-packed meatballs with your favorite sides and have dinner on the table in under an hour. Perfect for a busy weeknight.
In a large bowl, combine extra-lean ground turkey, Italian breadcrumbs, eggs, onion, garlic, milk, salt and black pepper. Mix gently until well combined.
Using a medium cookie scoop or spoon, scoop and roll the mixture into 2-tablespoon balls.
Coat a baking sheet or pan with non-stick cooking spray and place the meatballs on it.
Bake for approximately 15-20 minutes or until cooked through. Then, change the oven setting to broil for about 3 minutes, or until the top of the meatballs are slightly golden.
When they have finished baking, remove baking sheet from the oven and transfer the meatballs to a wire cooling rack. Enjoy!
Notes
For gluten free meatballs, simply purchase gluten free breadcrumbs.
Don't overwork the meat mixture.
Use a cookie scoop to keep meatballs uniform in size.
Avoid overpacking mixture into the cookie scoop as meatballs may become dense rather than tender.
Watch closely when broiling. This won't take long and the meatballs can easily burn.
To store: You can store leftover meatballs in an airtight container for up to 4 days in the fridge.
