Juicy and flavorful turkey meatballs, perfect for a healthy weeknight dinner. Serve with your favorite sauce and pasta or as a appetizer.

Ingredients

• 1 lb ground turkey
• 1/2 cup breadcrumbs
• 1/4 cup grated Parmesan cheese
• 1 large egg
• 2 cloves garlic, minced
• 1/4 cup chopped fresh parsley
• 1 tsp salt
• 1/2 tsp black pepper
• 1 tsp dried oregano
• 2 tbsp olive oil

Instructions

1. In a large bowl, combine ground turkey, breadcrumbs, Parmesan, egg, garlic, parsley, salt, pepper, and oregano. Mix until just combined; do not overmix.
2. Form mixture into 1.5-inch meatballs (about 20).
3. Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add meatballs in a single layer (cook in batches if needed).
4. Cook, turning occasionally, until browned on all sides and cooked through (internal temperature 165°F), about 10-12 minutes.
5. Remove from skillet and serve hot.

Tips

• For extra moisture, add 1 tablespoon of milk or yogurt to the mixture.
• These meatballs can be baked at 400°F for 15-20 minutes instead of pan-frying.
• Store leftovers in the refrigerator for up to 3 days or freeze for up to 3 months.
