Turkey meatballs
6
| Prep | 10 min | |
| Cook | 15 min | |
| Other | 15 min (Preheat) |
- Onion, 1 small, minced or finely chopped
- Garlic, minced, 2 tsp(s)
- Grated Parmesan cheese, ¼ cup(s)
- Basil, fresh, ¼ cup(s), chopped
- Eggs, 1 large, yolk only
- Black pepper, 0.13 tsp(s), ground
- Ground turkey, lean, raw, 1 lb(s)
Method
Preheat oven to 425°F.
Heat a non-stick frying pan to medium heat. Sauté the onions and garlic until tender, about 5 to 7 minutes. Remove from heat.
In a medium bowl, combine the onions, garlic, cheese, basil, egg yolk and black pepper and mix well. Add the turkey; gently mix with clean damp hands until just combined. Form the mixture into 1-inch meatballs — about 1 heaping tablespoon each.
Place on a baking sheet and bake for 10 to 15 minutes or until meatballs reach an internal temperature of 160°F.
Makes about 24 meatballs (4 meatballs per serving).
TIPS:
- If you prefer, you can cook the meatballs in the non-stick frying pan until golden brown and cooked through.
- You can freeze uncooked meatballs in an airtight container for up to 3 months. Thaw meatballs in the refrigerator overnight before baking.
