Ingredients

1½ lb ground turkey
1 egg
⅓ cup whole-wheat bread crumbs (or almond flour)
¼ cup grated Parmesan cheese
2 cloves garlic, minced
2 Tbsp fresh parsley, chopped (or 2 tsp dried)
1 tsp dried oregano
½ tsp sea salt
¼ tsp black pepper
1 Tbsp olive oil

Directions

Tap a step to mark it done.

Preheat the oven to 400°F and line a baking sheet with parchment.
Gently mix the turkey, egg, bread crumbs, Parmesan, garlic, parsley, oregano, salt, and pepper; do not overwork.
Roll into about 24 meatballs and place on the sheet; drizzle with the olive oil.
Bake 18–22 minutes, until browned and cooked through (165°F).

Note. Freeze cooked meatballs in a single layer, then bag: a fast protein for pasta, bowls, or wraps.

Ingredient tip. When a recipe uses a packaged or processed food, choose a version with five or fewer ingredients on the label.
