Ingredients

  • 1 lb ground turkey I used 93% lean
  • 1 large egg
  • ½ cup panko breadcrumbs
  • 2 garlic cloves minced or ½ teaspon garlic powder
  • 1 Tablespoon Italian seasoning
  • ½ Tablespoon Worcestershire sauce  or soy sauce or tamari
  • ½ teaspoon sea salt
  • ¼ teaspoon ground pepper
  • ¼ cup unsweetened almond milk

Instructions

    Cup of Yum
  1. Preheat oven to 400°F and line a baking tray with parchment paper or spray with non-stick cooking spray.
  2. In a large mixing bowl, combine all ingredients until everything is evenly incorporated.
  3. Using your hands, roll meat mixture into 1-2 inch balls and place on prepared baking sheet a few inches apart. Alternatively, you can use a cookie scoop to scoop the meat mixture into balls.
  4. Bake for about 15 minutes, or until the meatballs are lightly browned on the outside and cooked to an internal temperature of 165°F. Serve warm over spaghetti with your favorite sauce and fresh herbs.

Notes

  • orcestershire sauce on hand you can use soy sauce or tamari. 
  • Breadcrumbs – I used panko breadcrumbs, but Italian breadcrumbs should also work just fine. For a gluten-free alternative you can try using almond meal instead.
  • Almond milk – Any unsweetened non-dairy alternative will work as a substitute. 
  • Worcestershire sauce: If you don’t have worcestershire sauce on hand you can use soy sauce or tamari. 
  • Italian seasoning – If you don’t have an Italian seasoning blend you can use a blend of other dried herbs like rosemary, thyme, oregano and/or basil instead.
