Ingredients
- 2 pounds ground turkey
- 2 eggs
- 1 cup gluten-free breadcrumbs
- 1 cup Parmesan cheese, shredded
- 3 tablespoons olive oil
- 1/4 cup fresh parsley, chopped
- 4 cloves garlic, crushed
- 1 teaspoon onion powder
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 1/2 teaspoon ground pepper
Instructions
- Preheat oven: Set your oven to 400°F (200°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or a silicone mat.
- Combine ingredients: In a large bowl, combine ground turkey, eggs, gluten-free breadcrumbs, Parmesan cheese, olive oil, parsley, garlic, onion powder, garlic powder, salt, and pepper. Mix well with your hands or a spatula.
- Shape meatballs: Wet your hands with water. Use a cookie scoop or a tablespoon to measure out 2 tablespoons of the meatball mixture. Roll the mixture into balls, ensuring they are evenly shaped. Place the meatballs on the prepared baking sheet, spacing them evenly.
- Bake: Bake the meatballs for 25-30 minutes, or until they are golden brown and cooked through.
- Serve or store: Serve the meatballs immediately with your favorite sauce, pasta, or vegetables. To freeze, let the meatballs cool completely, then transfer them to a freezer-safe bag. Frozen meatballs can be stored for up to 3 months.
Notes
- For richer flavor: Consider adding ground pork to the turkey mixture.
- Homemade breadcrumbs: Using homemade gluten-free breadcrumbs can elevate the flavor of your meatballs.
- Cooking from frozen: Slightly defrost frozen meatballs before adding them to your favorite sauce.
