Turkey Meatballs
Easy, juicy turkey meatballs made with Parmesan, garlic, and herbs, ready in just minutes!
Ingredients
- 2 lbs ground turkey
- 1 large egg, room temperature
- ½ cup Parmesan cheese, grated
- 2 tablespoons chopped parsley
- 2 teaspoons kosher salt
- ½ teaspoon black pepper
- ½ cup whole milk
- ½ cup dry breadcrumbs
- 1 teaspoon garlic, minced
- ¼ cup yellow onion, finely chopped
- 2 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil
Instructions
- In a small bowl, stir together the milk, breadcrumbs, garlic, and onion. Let it sit for 2-3 minutes so the breadcrumbs absorb the milk.
- In a large bowl, add the ground turkey, egg, Parmesan, parsley, salt, and pepper. Add the milk-breadcrumb mixture. Gently mix everything until just combined; don’t overmix.
- Lightly grease your hands and roll the mixture into balls (about golf ball size).
- Add oil to a large nonstick or cast iron skillet. Heat over medium until the oil shimmers.
- Place the meatballs in the skillet in a single layer, leaving space between them. Cook for 10-12 minutes, turning every 2-3 minutes to brown all sides evenly.The meatballs are done when they’re golden brown on the outside and reach an internal temperature of 165°F.
- Serve warm with your favorite sauce, pasta, or side dish.
