These Turkey Meatballs are juicy and delicious! It’s an easy and healthy dinner for the whole family. Serve them with classic pasta sauce, creamy mushroom sauce, or make meatball subs!
Preheat oven to 400° F. Line a large baking sheet with parchment paper.
In a large mixing bowl, combine turkey meat with garlic, onion, Italian seasoning and paprika. Add salt and pepper. Mix everything well.
1 lb ground turkey, 2 teaspoons minced garlic, ¼ cup finely chopped or grated yellow onion, ½ teaspoon Italian seasoning, ½ teaspoon paprika, ½ teaspoon salt, ¼ teaspoon black pepper
Break the egg into meat mixture, slightly beat it with a fork, then mix into the meat mixture.
1 large egg
Add half of the bread crumbs, all grated Parmesan and parsley. Mix well.
½ cup bread crumbs, ½ cup grated Parmesan cheese, 1 tablespoon fresh parsley
Using a 1.5 tablespoon size scoop, form the meat mixture into balls, roll in hands, then in remaining bread crumbs. This adds more crispy texture to the outside of the meatballs.
Place meatballs on prepared baking sheet. Bake in preheated oven for 15 minutes, flip the meatballs and cook for 3 to 5 minutes more.
Remove from oven and serve right away or cool completely to store for later.
Notes
These meatballs can be served with a classic tomato-based pasta sauce, like my simple marinara sauce, or with my creamy mushroom sauce. Stir it with pasta, noodles, or veggie noodles. They are also delicious in sandwiches!
You can prepare the meatballs, bake them, cool and store in the fridge for up to 4 days. Add to the simmering sauce and reheat them.
