Savory Baked Turkey Meatballs with Herbs

Ingredients

- 1 pound ground turkey
- 1/2 cup breadcrumbs
- 1 large egg, beaten
- 1/2 cup finely chopped onion
- 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1 tablespoon chopped fresh parsley
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 1/2 teaspoon black pepper
- 1/2 teaspoon dried basil
- 1/2 teaspoon dried oregano

Instructions

1. Preheat the oven to 375°F. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or lightly grease it to prevent sticking.

2. Prepare the mixture: In a large bowl, combine the ground turkey, breadcrumbs, beaten egg, chopped onion, garlic powder, parsley, salt, pepper, basil, and oregano.

3. Mix gently: Using your hands, mix the ingredients together until just combined. Avoid over-mixing to keep the meatballs tender.

4. Form the meatballs: Shape the mixture into 1.5-inch meatballs, rolling them gently between your palms. Place them evenly spaced on the prepared baking sheet.

5. Bake the meatballs: Transfer the baking sheet to the preheated oven. Bake for 20-25 minutes, or until the meatballs are cooked through and golden brown on the outside. The internal temperature should reach 165°F.

6. Serve: Remove from the oven and let them rest for a few minutes before serving. Pair with your favorite pasta, sauce, or as an appetizer with a dipping sauce.
