baked turkey meatballs

Baked Turkey Meatballs. Easy to make, tender, and absolutely delicious! Serve with spaghetti, buns, or over zucchini noodles.

Baked Turkey Meatballs

Parmesan cheese (plus additional for serving)

Italian-seasoned breadcrumbs (whole wheat if possible)

herbs

salt

garlic powder

onion powder

oregano

black pepper

red pepper flakes (optional)

turkey (keep

extra-virgin olive oil (plus more as needed)

pasta sauce

whole wheat pasta or zucchini noodles

Creamy Polenta

Split and toasted hoagie buns

brown rice

Preheat your oven to 375 degrees F. Line a rimmed baking sheet with aluminum foil and coat with nonstick spray.

In a large mixing bowl, add the cheese, bread crumbs, herbs, salt, garlic powder, onion powder, oregano, pepper, and red pepper flakes and stir well to combine. Add the turkey. In a small bowl, beat the egg, then add it to the meat mixture. With a fork or your fingers, mix just until combined, being careful not to compact the meat.

With a scoop or spoon, scoop the meat and shape into 1 1/2-inch meatballs. Arrange on the prepared baking sheet. You will have about 20 meatballs total. Brush the tops of the meatballs with the olive oil.

Bake for 15 minutes, or until the meatballs reach an internal temperature of 165 degrees F on an instant-read thermometer. As an alternate way to check, a meatball in the center of the baking sheet should be fully cooked through when cut in half.

While the meatballs cook, warm the sauce and any other items you’d like to serve them with (pasta, hoagie buns, 1rice, etc.). Serve the meatballs hot, topped with the sauce, cheese, herbs, and any other additions.

This Giant Turkey Meatball isn't your regular meatball, is HUGE, baked in the oven similar to how you would make a meatloaf, then topped with marinara and melted cheese – I'm OBSESSED!

Giant Turkey Meatball Parmesan

93% turkey

tbsp grated pecorino romano cheese

crushed garlic

tomato paste

parsley

Delallo Pomodoro Fresco Marinara

mozzarella cheese

(optional

Preheat the oven to 350°F.

In a medium bowl combine turkey, breadcrumbs, pecorino, egg, garlic, tomato paste, parsley and salt and gently mix to combine. Form into an oval loaf using your hands, slightly flattened at the top on a nonstick baking sheet. Bake uncovered 50 to 55 minutes, or until it's cooked in the center and the internal temperature of 160 °F with a thermometer. Remove from oven, top with marinara and cheese and bake 3 to 5 minutes until the sauce is hot and the cheese is melted.

Slice in 8 equal pieces. Serve with more warmed sauce on the side if desired.

For an easy, healthy weeknight dinner, it doesn&#039;t get better than these Greek turkey meatballs. Ground turkey is mixed with our homemade Greek vinaigrette and breadcrumbs, then baked or broiled (your choice!) until golden brown. Serve with your favorite Greek salad toppings, such as Romaine lettuce, tomatoes, feta cheese, Kalamata olives, pepperoncini, and our epic homemade pita chips.

Greek Turkey Meatballs

lbs ground turkey (light

breadcrumbs

½ tsp Kosher salt

extra virgin olive oil

red wine vinegar

lemon juice

garlic (thinly chopped)

sugar

tsp black pepper (2)

Tbsp feta cheese (crumbled)

pitas

Tbsp extra virgin olive oil

tsp onion salt

Romaine lettuce (finely chopped)

Tomatoes (chopped)

Pepperoncini

Kalamata olives

Feta cheese

Tzatziki

Lemon wedges

Make the Greek vinaigrette. Combine ½ cup extra virgin olive oil, ¼ cup red wine vinegar, 2 Tbsp fresh lemon juice, 2 finely chopped garlic cloves, ½ tsp dried oregano, ½ tsp sugar, ½ tsp Kosher salt, ¼ tsp black pepper, and 2 Tbsp feta cheese in a large measuring cup. Whisk to thoroughly combine.

Season the turkey. Place ground turkey in a large mixing bowl, then add ½ cup breadcrumbs, 1 ½ tsp Kosher salt, and 6 Tbsp of the Greek vinaigrette. Use your hands to mix well.

Chill the meatball mixture. Cover ground turkey mixture with plastic wrap, then refrigerate for an hour. (If you skip this step, the meatballs will be harder to form given the oil in the dressing.) Meanwhile, bake the pita chips.

Make the pita chips. Preheat oven to 450F. Take 4 fluffy pita, then slice them in half. Cut each half into 3 or 4 wedges, depending on how large you want the pita chips to be. Place the pita wedges onto a parchment-lined rimmed baking sheet. Drizzle with 3 Tbsp extra virgin olive oil, 1 tsp onion salt, and ½ tsp dried oregano.

Bake the chips. Place in a preheated oven and cook for 7 minutes, or until golden brown and crispy. If using a thinner pita bread, check them after 5 minutes so they don&#39;t burn.

Form the meatballs. Either preheat oven to 450F (it will already be this temp if you made pita chips) or set the broiler to high. Use a standard medium 1 ½&quot; diameter cookie scoop to evenly portion the meatballs (heaping scoops!), then place on a rimmed baking sheet. Gently roll each meatball into a uniform round ball. 2 lbs of ground turkey should yield 24 meatballs.

Bake the meatballs. If baking, place meatballs in a preheated oven and cook for 12-14 minutes, or until an internal temperature of 165F is reached. If broiling, make sure rack is directly under by the broiler by about 3&quot;. Cook for 12 minutes, flipping the meatballs once halfway through.

Serve with Greek salad. Assemble Greek salad using our favorite toppings (our recommendations are below!), then place the Geek turkey meatballs on top and drizzle with extra salad dressing. Serve immediately!

This is a regular in iur meal rotation. East to make and simple ingredients. I just fry/sear them in a little olive oil and turn them until browned! Making them again!!

I make these a lot. Everyone loves them and my daughter just asked for the recipe for when she goes back to school.

This recipe is simple, tasty, and a weeknight fan favorite in our family! My 11 and 16 year old kids have much different tastes and both crave these flavorful meatballs.

This is a favorite for everyone in the house!

I make these quite often. Outstanding! Can I use the same recipe for a meatloaf?

This was so tasty I felt compelled to leave a review. Even my picky toddler ate some! Husband went back for seconds, or was it thirds? Made exactly 20 meatballs. Despite the simple ingredients they were so tasty! I used fresh basil and parsley and decided to be a little generous with the seasonings. Of course the timing of things is not quite right because it takes forever to prep herbs. Served with pasta, tomato basil raos and a kale Caesar salad. Yum!!!

These meatballs are absolutely delicious! I highly recommend this recipe!

ABSOLUTEL delicious!! followed recipe as instructed...easy, tasty ingredients, juicy, perfectly baked meatballs @ 350 deg for 15 minutes! I love a recipe that's easy to follow with good instructions. We're Italian and never thought I'd be making ground turkey meatballs, but by adding lots of smashed garlic (lol) along with ingredients as written, the turkey flavor actually came through deliciously, tender and juicy! Thank you so much for opening my mind to a healthier choice!

This recipe is our go-to recipe for meatballs. They are light and airy and oh so good! My husband loved them. Served them with pasta sauce and a big Italian salad. Try this, you won't be disappointed. I also learned a big take-away here...brushing with a little olive oil on the meatballs before baking keeps them moist and prevents drying out. Thank you so much for a great recipe!

Turkey Meatballs Video

These Italian-inspired Turkey Meatballs with Sundried Tomatoes and Basil can be baked in the oven or pan-seared on the stovetop. Simmer them in your favorite marinara sauce for a few minutes, then serve over pasta or with veggies, for a quick healthy weeknight meal.

Turkey Meatballs with Sun-dried Tomatoes

lb turkey

sundried tomatoes, (packed

olive oil oil

onion, finely chopped

basil, chopped

garlic cloves, finely minced (or 1 teaspoon granulated garlic)

pecorino cheese

marinara sauce

Place on a parchment-lined sheet pan and bake at 425F for 10-12 minutes, or until they just start to get golden. Finish cooking them with the marina sauce (capturing all those pan juices) in an oven-proof skillet or baking dish, sprinkling with more pecorino. You cantop simmer them on the stove or place them back in the oven. Meatballs are done when they register 165F.

Pan sear

Using a non-stick skillet, over medium heat, heat enough oil to coat the bottom, and lightly brown each side of the meatballs, gently turning or giving the skillet a good shake. Once golden on most sides, stir in the marinara sauce, gently coating the meatballs. Dust with pecorino cheese and either simmer for 5 minutes, or place in a hot oven for 10 minutes, uncovered.

Bake or Pan-sear

These are a staple in our home! We’ve truly loved every recipe from feasting at home, delish weeknight dinner!

An easy turkey meatball recipe of perfectly seasoned meatballs in a creamy chicken broth based gravy made right in the same skillet. 

Turkey Meatballs Recipe

1¼ lbs ground turkey

panko bread crumbs

Worcestershire sauce

olive oil

butter

all-purpose flour

chicken broth

heavy cream

salt and pepper

In a large bowl, mix ground turkey, breadcrumbs, dried oregano, garlic powder, minced onion, egg, and Worcestershire sauce. Shape into 1 1/2 inch meatballs.

Heat olive oil over medium heat in a large skillet.  Add meatballs and cook until browned on all sides. Do not crowd the skillet. If necessary, work in batches. Remove the meatballs to a plate.

Melt butter in the same skillet over medium-low heat.  Whisk in the flour and cook for 2-3 minutes, whisking constantly.  Whisk in the chicken broth, garlic powder, onion powder, Worcestershire sauce, cream, and oregano. Cook until thickened.

Add the meatballs to the skillet and spoon the sauce over them. Simmer for 15 minutes.

Season with salt and pepper to taste and sprinkle with fresh parsley. Serve over mashed potatoes, egg noodles, or rice.

These turkey meatballs were incredible but the cream sauce on top was next level! Loved every bit of them. I served them with buttered noodles this time, and next time I'll be trying with mashed potatoes. Delish.

We have been eating more healthy and these meatballs were just the thing. Delicious and easy! Thank you for the recipe.

The Meatballs were divine, THANK YOU SO MUCH...The sauce was so delicious, everyone loved it. Thanks a lot for the recipe.

These look incredible and have been using Turkey more for many of our meal options to help cut out so much red meat and even pork. I have to say this dish looks so good and I am or I should say....I have already pinned it so that I can print it out and make it for my family. YUM! Great way to make something new with turkey ;)

These were so good! I love meatballs in my low-carb lifestyle.

What a great recipe for the sauce! I will try it in my own kitchen. Thank you for making your recipes always interesting and uniquely flavorful.

I had no heavy cream so I  looked up a substitute and used Greek yogurt.  It tasted very good. I will definitely be making this again!
