These easy turkey meatballs showcase the versatility of ground turkey, combining fresh parsley and Parmesan for a burst of flavor without the need for breadcrumbs.
Ingredients
- 1 lb ground turkey
- 1/4 cup grated Parmesan cheese
- 1/4 cup chopped fresh parsley
- 1 egg
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 teaspoon onion powder
- 1 teaspoon dried oregano
- Salt and pepper to taste
- Olive oil for cooking
Instructions
- In a large bowl, combine ground turkey, Parmesan cheese, parsley, egg, minced garlic, onion powder, oregano, salt, and pepper. Mix until well combined.
- Preheat the oven to 400°F (200°C) or heat olive oil in a skillet over medium heat.
- Form the mixture into meatballs, about 1 inch in diameter.

Notes
Consider adding more herbs or spices to customize the flavor. Use a cookie scoop for consistent meatball sizes and try adding grated zucchini or finely chopped mushrooms for juiciness.
