Ingredients
- 1 pound extra-lean ground turkey
- 1 cup Italian breadcrumbs
- 2 organic eggs
- 1 cup onion chopped
- 1 tbsp garlic cloves minced
- 1/4 cup milk
- Salt and pepper to taste
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 400°F degrees.
- 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.
- To reheat: Simply microwave the leftovers to quickly heat them up.
- To freeze: You can freeze the meatballs before or after baking them. Freeze them on a lined sheet pan before transferring to a freezer-safe bag.
