Ingredients
- 2 pounds ground turkey
- 3/4 cup grated Parmesan cheese
- 3/4 cup soft fresh bread crumbs
- 1 large egg (lightly beaten)
- 2 teaspoons dried Italian seasoning or blend of dried leaf oregano and basil
- 2 teaspoons dried parsley flakes
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon salt
- Dash black pepper
- 3 to 4 tablespoons fine dry bread crumbs
Directions
- Gather the ingredients and preheat the oven to 375 F.
- Line a large baking sheet–such as a large half sheet pan or jelly roll pan–or two small jelly roll pans with nonstick foil.
- Combine turkey, cheese, 3/4 cup fresh bread crumbs, egg, Italian seasoning, parsley, garlic powder, salt, and pepper. Stir or mix on low speed of a stand mixer with paddle attachment until blended.
- Shape into small meatballs, about 3/4 ounce each. Use a small cookie scoop or weigh them as you shape them to keep them even in size.
- Roll the meatballs in the fine dry bread crumbs to lightly coat; then arrange them on the baking sheet and dust with the dry bread crumbs.
- Bake for 20 to 25 minutes or until browned and cooked through. If you make larger meatballs, allow more time.
- Serve and enjoy!
