Oven-Baked Meatballs
This simple meatball recipe is as versatile as it is delicious! Serve them over a veggie salad or an easy spaghetti with sugar-free marinara or a pesto sauce — the options are endless!
Ingredients
- 1 ½ lb. ground turkey
- ½ cup breadcrumbs (or sub 3 Tbsp. almond flour for gluten free)
- 1 small onion, finely diced (or ½ tsp. onion powder)
- 3 garlic cloves, minced (or ½ tsp. garlic powder)
- 1 egg
- ¾ tsp. sea salt
- ½ tsp. black pepper
- Cooking spray
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.
- Store in fridge and consume within 2-3 days.
