Baked Turkey Meatballs Recipe
I don't really care for pan fried meatballs. When I started eating healthier I started making my own meatballs with ground turkey and baking them. I have had success freezing these as well. Great to add to Sweet and Sour or BBQ sauce for a party or your favorite spaghetti sauce for dinner over spaghetti squash.
Ingredients
- 20 oz of Ground Turkey Breast (93%)
- 1 small onion or half a large finely chopped
- 2 cloves garlic minced or through garlic press
- 1 tablespoon Italian Seasoning, dried
- ¼ cup of bread crumbs, plain
- 1 egg white
- Salt and Pepper
Directions
- Cover baking sheet with tin foil and spray lightly with cooking spray. I use olive oil spray or canola oil.
- Mix all ingredients in a large bowl, best to mix gently with your hands to completely combined. Do not over mix.
- Scoop into small 1” meatballs, I find this best with 1tbsp scoop or rounded measuring spoon 1 tbsp size. Roll them with your hands to form. Place on baking sheet. You should get 30-35 meatballs depending on size of turkey package.
- Spray meatballs with cooking spray. Bake in 350 degree oven for 30-35 minutes. Remove promptly from pan so they do not stick to foil. (While cooking they will release some juices).
