Time 30m

Number Of Ingredients 17

1/3 cup grated Parmesan cheese (plus additional for serving)
1/3 cup Italian-seasoned breadcrumbs (whole wheat if possible)
3 tablespoons finely chopped fresh herbs (basil, parsley, or chives a combo, plus additional for serving)
1 teaspoon kosher salt
1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
1/2 teaspoon onion powder
1/2 teaspoon dried oregano
1/4 teaspoon black pepper
1/4 teaspoon red pepper flakes (optional)
1 pound 93% lean ground turkey (keep in your refrigerator until the last possible second)
1 large egg
1 1/2 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil (plus more as needed)
Prepared pasta sauce
Cooked whole wheat pasta or zucchini noodles
Creamy Polenta
Split and toasted hoagie buns
Prepared brown rice

Steps:

  • 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, rice, etc.). Serve the meatballs hot, topped with the sauce, cheese, herbs, and any other additions.

Time 15m

Number Of Ingredients 10

1 pound ground turkey
1/2 teaspoon cumin
1/2 teaspoon oregano
1/2 teaspoon onion powder
1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
2 teaspoons chopped fresh parsley
1 large egg
2 teaspoons sesame oil plus more to brush on top
2 green onions (thinly sliced (or 2 tablespoons finely chopped white onion))
salt + pepper to taste

Steps:

  • Preheat broiler. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper and spray with cooking spray.
  • In a bowl, add ground turkey, cumin, oregano, onion powder, garlic powder, parsley, egg, sesame oil, and green onions. Gently mix until well combined. Careful not to overmix or the meatballs won't be moist and tender.
  • Form the mixture into meatballs. Place on lined baking sheet. Using a medium cookie scoop makes 15 meatballs, 1-inch in diameter. You can definitely make them in whatever size you'd like, just make sure they are all the same size so they cook evenly.
  • Broil on HIGH for 10 minutes or until meatballs are cooked through.* Brush with more sesame oil on top for more flavor. Serve with your favorite side dish. Enjoy!
