Turkey Meatballs

Kids love these and they are easy. Instead of rosemary, basil, and oregano, I use any type of seasoning I currently like. https://carlsbadcravings.com/turkey-meatballs/#wprm-recipe-container-56550

Step 1

If baking: Line a baking sheet with foil for easy cleanup and top with a baking rack; spray the rack with cooking spray. Preheat oven to 400 degrees F.

Step 2

Grate the onion on the largest holes of the grater straight into a large bowl (we want all the juices!) until there is about ½ cup combined juices/onion. Stir in the remaining ingredients up to the turkey and mix well. Add the turkey and mix with your hands just to combine (don’t over-mix or your meatballs will be tough).

Step 3

Wet or lightly spray your hands with cooking spray to prevent the mixture from sticking. Scoop the meat mixture using a 1 ½ tablespoon cookie scoop (or a heaping 1 tablespoon), then gently roll in between the palms of your hands to form balls; don't compact too much or the meatballs will be dense. Place the meatballs onto the prepared rack or parchment paper without touching.

Step 4

Lightly brush the meatballs with olive oil or spray with cooking oil.

Step 5

Transfer the baking sheet to the oven and bake at 400 degrees F for 16-21 minutes, or until the meatballs are cooked through (reach an internal temperature of 160 degrees F on an instant read thermometer then allowed to rest for 5 minutes to reach 165 degrees F). Broil for a minute or so if desired for some extra color.
