Ingredients
- 2 pounds ground turkey
- 1 cup panko breadcrumbs or GF panko, or quick oats
- ½ cup grated Parmesan cheese
- ½ cup shredded onion
- 2 large eggs
- 1 tablespoon Worcestershire sauce
- 1 tablespoon Italian seasoning
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon salt
- ½ teaspoon ground black pepper
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F. Line two large rimmed baking sheets with parchment paper. Set aside.
- Set out a large mixing bowl. Add all ingredients. Gently toss/mix by hand until the ingredients are evenly dispersed, but not packed together.
- Use a 2 tablespoon scoop to portion the meatball mixture out into even portions. Gently roll each meatball in your hands until they are smooth and round. Place on the baking sheets.
- Bake for 15 minutes until firm. Then turn on the broiler and broil for 1-2 minutes until golden on top. Remove from the oven. (You may need to broil the baking sheets one at a time.)
- If desired, you can brush the turkey meatballs with olive oil when they come out of the oven, so they glisten.

Notes
- Serve baked turkey meatballs with any sauce, on sub rolls, in soups, or even freeze for later use.
- Cool the baked Turkey Meatballs completely before transferring to an airtight container. Keep in the refrigerator for up to 4-6 days.
- Freeze in an airtight container for up to 4 months. To keep them loose so that you can pull a few meatballs out of the freezer at a time, it’s best to flash freeze the meatballs on the baking sheets before placing them in a sealed container and freezing.
