These easy turkey meatballs are quick to prepare and very kid-friendly. You can serve them with pasta and spaghetti sauce or just eat them with ketchup, as my children do.

Ingredients

  • 2 tablespoons olive oil

  • 1 ¼ pounds 93%-lean ground turkey

  • cup Italian seasoned bread crumbs

  • 1 large egg, beaten

Directions

  1. Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Grease a 9x13-inch baking dish with oil, and place it into the oven while preheating.

  2. Mix turkey, bread crumbs, and egg together in a bowl with your hands. Use an ice cream scoop to form mixture into golf ball-sized meatballs.

  3. Remove the baking dish from the oven. Place meatballs into the hot dish, about 1 inch apart. Press gently on each meatball to flatten the bottom just slightly.

  4. Bake in the preheated oven for 15 minutes. Flip meatballs over and continue baking until somewhat crispy on the outside, about 5 more minutes. An instant-read thermometer inserted into the center should read at least 165 degrees F (74 degrees C).

Tips

You can use lean ground beef instead of turkey; just make sure it has at least 7% fat.
