- 1 pound ground turkey 93% lean

- 2 tablespoons fresh parsley
- 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder

- 1 teaspoon kosher salt
- pinch of black pepper
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 375 degrees Fahrenheit. Line a baking sheet with aluminum foil and spray with cooking spray.
- In a large bowl combine all of the ingredients. It works best to do this with your hands and make sure all the ingredients are well distributed.1 pound ground turkey, 1 egg, 1/2 cup Italian bread crumbs, 1/4 cup grated Parmesan cheese, 2 tablespoons fresh parsley, 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder, 1/2 tablespoon dried oregano, 1/2 tablespoon dried basil, 1 teaspoon kosher salt, pinch of black pepper
- Using a medium cookie scoop (1 1/2 tablespoon size), make even-sized meatballs. Roll them and place them on the prepared baking sheet. If not using a cookie scoop, the meatballs should be about an inch and a half across.
- Bake for 15 to 20 minutes or until they register 165 degrees Fahrenheit with a meat thermometer.
- Serve with spaghetti and homemade spaghetti sauce. Enjoy!
