½tsp.black pepper

Instructions
Preheat your oven to 400°F and line a large-rimmed sheet pan with parchment paper.
Add all ingredients to a large mixing bowl. Spray a small amount of cooking spray on clean hands and rub it in to keep the meat mixture from sticking to your hands.
Using your hands, form the mixture into about 1” round balls. The recipe should form between 22-24 balls. Place your meatballs on the prepared sheet pan and bake for 15-17 minutes, until tops begin to brown.
Remove from oven and let cool for a few minutes. Enjoy!
Notes
If you have fresh herbs on hand, 1-2 Tbsp. of chopped basil, dill, parsley, oregano or thyme would make a tasty addition!
You can sub ground chicken or lean ground beef for ground turkey.
