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.

These Greek Meatballs are healthy and gluten-free, making them perfect for meal prep, but they&#039;re also great for parties. Pair them with tzatziki sauce and you&#039;re good to go!

Preheat oven to broil (high). Position oven rack 4-5 inches from broiler.

Combine all ingredients in a large mixing bowl. I recommend using your hands so you don’t overmix.

Use a 1.5 tablespoon scoop (or eyeball it) to roll meat mixture into about 20 meatballs.

Spray a large foil-lined rimmed baking sheet lightly with oil or cooking spray. Place meatballs on baking sheet. Broil until meatballs reach internal temperature of 165°F, 8 to 10 minutes.
