What goes in

• 1 pound ground turkey
• 1 egg
• 1/2 cup grated yellow onion
• 2 cloves garlic, minced
• 1/3 cup bread crumbs
• 1/4 cup freshly grated parmesan cheese
• 2 tablespoons fresh parsley, chopped
• 1 tablespoon Worcestershire sauce
• 1 teaspoon Italian seasoning
• 1/2 teaspoon each salt + pepper

How it comes together

1. In a large mixing bowl, combine ground turkey, egg, breadcrumbs, onion, garlic, parmesan cheese, Worcestershire sauce, Italian seasoning and salt/pepper until all combined.
2. Using a small to medium cookie scoop, make 1-inch sized balls from the mixture and place on a prepared baking sheet sprayed with non-stick spray or parchment paper (you should get about 30 meatballs). The cookie scoop helps make sure the meatballs are all uniform in size.
3. Pop the meatballs in the oven at 400 degrees F and bake for about 16 to 20 minutes, until lightly browned and cooked through. Meatballs should have an internal temp of 165 degrees F when inserting a meat thermometer.
