Instructions

  • In a large mixing bowl, combine turkey and seasonings.
  • Using a cookie scoop, measure out 25 g portions of the meat mixture and roll into balls.
  • Sauté in a frying pan over medium-high heat, turning each meatball gently until cooked through.
  • Alternatively you can place the raw meatballs on a baking sheet that has been lined with foil or parchment paper and bake in the oven at 350 F for 20 minutes.
  • Serve immediately or freeze for later use.

Notes

  • Adding fresh herbs, like parsley and basil, to your meatball mixture gives them a burst of flavor and a lovely aroma that really elevates the dish.
  • Don’t hold back on the seasonings. A sprinkle of salt, pepper, oregano, or onion powder can transform your meatballs, making them even more delicious.
  • Sauté diced onion with fresh ginger before mixing them into the meatball mixture; this adds a delicious depth of flavor.
  • Make a large batch of meatballs and store them in an airtight container in the refrigerator for easy meal prep throughout the week.
  • Leftover meatballs can also be frozen in an airtight container for a quick protein-packed meal later. They thaw beautifully and are perfect for soups or on top of salads!
