Cooking Instructions
Follow our step-by-step guide on how to make Quick and Easy Turkey Meatballs.
Step 1
Start by gathering all your ingredients to make the cooking process smooth and enjoyable.
Step 2
Preheat your oven to a cozy 350°F (175°C) and while it warms up, take a moment to grease a 9x13-inch baking dish with a splash of olive oil.
Step 3
Pop the dish into the oven to heat up as well—this little trick helps the meatballs get a nice sear.
Step 4
In a mixing bowl, combine the ground turkey, Italian seasoned breadcrumbs, and a beaten egg.
Step 5
Get your hands in there and mix everything together until it’s well blended; this is where the magic happens! Now, using either an ice cream scoop or your hands, shape the mixture into golf ball-sized meatballs.
Step 6
Place them in the hot baking dish, making sure to leave about an inch of space between each one.
Step 7
For a little extra texture, gently press down on the top of each meatball to flatten the bottom slightly.
Step 8
Bake those delicious meatballs in your preheated oven for 15 minutes, then carefully flip them over and let them bake for another 5 minutes.
Step 9
You’ll know they’re ready when they turn a beautiful golden brown and crispy on the outside, and an instant-read thermometer shows at least 165°F (74°C) in the center.
Step 10
Once they’re done, serve your mouthwatering meatballs with pasta, sauce, or your favorite side dishes, and enjoy the delightful flavors you’ve created!.
