Instructions
Creating these delicious turkey meatballs can be straightforward if you follow these simple steps:
1. Preheat the Oven: Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper for easy cleanup.
2. Prepare the Mixture: In a large bowl, combine the ground turkey, breadcrumbs, Parmesan cheese, parsley, egg, minced garlic, onion powder, Italian seasoning, salt, and pepper.
3. Add Milk: Pour in the milk and mix everything until well combined. Be careful not to overmix, as this can make the meatballs tough.
4. Form Meatballs: Using your hands, form the mixture into meatballs, about 1 inch in diameter. Place them on the prepared baking sheet.
5. Drizzle with Olive Oil: Lightly drizzle olive oil over the meatballs to help them brown while baking.
6. Bake: Place the baking sheet in the preheated oven and bake for 20-25 minutes, or until the meatballs are cooked through and golden brown.
7. Check Doneness: Use a meat thermometer to ensure the internal temperature reaches 165°F (74°C).
8. Serve: Once cooked, remove the meatballs from the oven and let them rest for a few minutes before serving.
