Time 30m

Number Of Ingredients 17

1/3 cup grated Parmesan cheese (plus additional for serving)
1/3 cup Italian-seasoned breadcrumbs (whole wheat if possible)
3 tablespoons finely chopped fresh herbs (basil, parsley, or chives a combo, plus additional for serving)
1 teaspoon kosher salt
1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
1/2 teaspoon onion powder
1/2 teaspoon dried oregano
1/4 teaspoon black pepper
1/4 teaspoon red pepper flakes (optional)
1 pound 93% lean ground turkey (keep in your refrigerator until the last possible second)
1 large egg
1 1/2 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil (plus more as needed)
Prepared pasta sauce
Cooked whole wheat pasta or zucchini noodles
Creamy Polenta
Split and toasted hoagie buns
Prepared brown rice

Steps:

  • Preheat your oven to 375 degrees F. Line a rimmed baking sheet with aluminum foil and coat with nonstick spray.
  • In a large mixing bowl, add the cheese, bread crumbs, herbs, salt, garlic powder, onion powder, oregano, pepper, and red pepper flakes and stir well to combine. Add the turkey.
  • In a small bowl, beat the egg, then add it to the meat mixture. With a fork or your fingers, mix just until combined, being careful not to compact the meat.
  • With a scoop or spoon, scoop the meat and shape into 1 1/2-inch meatballs. Arrange on the prepared baking sheet. You will have about 20 meatballs total.
  • Brush the tops of the meatballs with the olive oil.
  • Bake for 15 minutes, or until the meatballs reach an internal temperature of 165 degrees F on an instant-read thermometer. As an alternate way to check, a meatball in the center of the baking sheet should be fully cooked through when cut in half.
  • While the meatballs cook, warm the sauce and any other items you'd like to serve them with (pasta, hoagie buns, rice, etc.). Serve the meatballs hot, topped with the sauce, cheese, herbs, and any other additions.

The meat mixture is softer than you might expect, thanks to the addition of ricotta, but sacrificing a perfectly round shape is worth it. You'll make these turkey meatballs so often you just might forget about your beef meatball recipe.

Time 55m

Yield 12 meatballs

Number Of Ingredients 12

2 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil
2 tablespoons canola oil
3/4 cup finely ground fresh breadcrumbs (from 3 to 4 slices white bread, crusts removed)
1/2 cup milk
1 pound ground turkey (93/7 ratio)
1/2 cup whole milk ricotta cheese
2 tablespoons grated Parmesan
1 clove garlic, grated
1/4 cup packed parsley leaves, finely chopped (about 2 tablespoons chopped)
1 teaspoon dried oregano
Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper
1 large egg, lightly beaten

Steps:

  • Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper and drizzle the olive oil and canola oil in an even layer over the paper.
  • Pour the breadcrumbs into a large mixing bowl, pour the milk over top and stir to fully moisten the breadcrumbs. Add the remaining ingredients to the mixing bowl and mix with your hands just until combined.
  • Scoop 1/4-cupfuls of meatball mixture and place them evenly spaced on the prepared baking sheet; you should have 12 meatballs. Gently roll them into balls. Bake until bottoms are golden brown, about 15 minutes. Reduce the oven temperature to 325 degrees F and continue to bake for 15 to 20 minutes more until the meatballs are cooked through.

Tips:

  • Use ground turkey for a healthier alternative to beef or pork meatballs. Ground turkey is leaner and lower in saturated fat, making it a good choice for those watching their weight or cholesterol.
  • Add plenty of herbs and spices to the meatballs for flavor. Some good options include garlic, onion, parsley, oregano, basil, and thyme.
  • Use a combination of bread crumbs and Parmesan cheese as a binder for the meatballs. This will help to keep them moist and prevent them from falling apart.
  • Bake the meatballs at a high temperature for a short period of time. This will help to keep them juicy and tender.
  • Serve the meatballs with your favorite sauce, such as marinara, Alfredo, or barbecue sauce.

Conclusion:

Baked turkey meatballs are a delicious and easy-to-make appetizer or main course. They are perfect for parties or potlucks, and can be served with a variety of sauces. So next time you are looking for a healthy and flavorful meal, give these baked turkey meatballs a try.
