Baked Turkey Meatballs
Homemade baked turkey meatballs are perfect for a spaghetti dinner, feeding a crowd or freezing to have on hand for busy nights. And this easy recipe takes just minutes to prep!
Yield: 22 -24 meatballs
Ingredients
- 1.25 pounds lean ground turkey, such as 93% lean
- ½ small onion, grated (or very finely chopped)
- 1 clove garlic, minced
- 1 large egg
- 1 teaspoon Worcestershire sauce
- ⅓ cup grated Parmesan cheese
- ⅓ cup unseasoned breadcrumbs
- 1 teaspoon Italian seasoning
- ½ teaspoon kosher salt
- ¼ teaspoon black pepper
- ¼ teaspoon red pepper flakes, optional
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 400. Line a baking sheet with aluminum foil and spray with cooking spray for easy clean-up.
- Mix all ingredients together in a large bowl until combined. Be careful not to overmix. I usually start with a fork to get things somewhat combined and then use my hands to gently mix it together well.
- Shape into 1-inch round meatballs and place on prepared baking sheet.
- Bake for 20-22 minutes, until done.
