   To start your delicious turkey meatballs, grab a large mixing bowl and combine the ground turkey with poultry seasoning, garlic salt, onion powder, salt, black pepper, Worcestershire sauce, and a pinch of cayenne pepper.

2. Step 2

   Mix everything together until it’s well blended, creating a flavorful base for your meatballs.

   Next, add in a beaten egg, a splash of milk, and some bread crumbs.

4. Step 4

   Stir until all the ingredients are fully combined, and then cover the bowl with plastic wrap.

5. Step 5

   Pop it in the refrigerator for about an hour; this allows the flavors to meld beautifully, making each bite even more delightful.

6. Step 6

   While your mixture is chilling, heat a drizzle of olive oil in a skillet over medium heat.

   Once the oil is warm, take the turkey mixture out of the fridge and roll it into small balls, about the size of a tablespoon.

   When the oil is hot and shimmering, carefully place the meatballs in the skillet in a single layer.

9. Step 9

   Cook them, turning occasionally, until they’re golden brown on all sides.

    Once they’re perfectly browned, transfer the meatballs to a clean baking sheet and set them aside for now.
