  • 1 cup Breadcrumbs Italian-seasoned or gluten-free
  • 1/2 cup Parmesan Cheese freshly grated or Pecorino Romano
  • 2 cloves Garlic Cloves minced
  • 1/4 cup Fresh Parsley chopped
  • 1 large Eggs or flax egg for a vegan option
  • 1 tablespoon Italian Seasoning or substitute with dried oregano and basil

Method
 

Cooking Steps
  1. Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C) and prep a baking sheet lined with parchment paper.
  2. In a large bowl, combine ground turkey, breadcrumbs, Parmesan, minced garlic, chopped parsley, and eggs. Mix gently until just combined.
  3. Roll the mixture into golf ball-sized meatballs, approximately 24 in total.
  4. Arrange the meatballs on the prepared baking sheet, then bake for 20-25 minutes until golden brown and an internal temperature of 165°F (74°C) is reached.
  5. While the meatballs are baking, heat your tomato sauce in a saucepan. Once the meatballs are ready, add them to the sauce and let them simmer for about 5 minutes.
  6. Plate the meatballs with extra sauce and sprinkle additional Parmesan on top.

Notes

Store leftovers in an airtight container for up to 4 days, or freeze for up to 3 months. Reheat with a splash of sauce for best results.
