Garlic parmesan turkey meatballs

Garlic Parmesan Turkey Meatballs are a delicious and healthier alternative to traditional meatballs. Packed with the robust flavors of garlic and the savory essence of Parmesan cheese, these meatballs are perfect for any meal. They're easy to prepare, making them a great option for weeknight dinners or meal prepping.

Ingredients:

24 oz ground turkey
680g
10 garlic cloves
30g
1/4 cup grated parmesan cheese
24g
1/2 tsp salt
3g
1/2 tsp black pepper
1.05g

Instructions:

1. Preheat the Oven:
- Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or lightly grease it to ensure the meatballs don't stick.
2. Prepare the Ingredients:
- Peel and finely mince the garlic cloves.
- Grate the parmesan cheese if not already pre-grated.
3. Mix the Meatball Ingredients:
- In a large mixing bowl, combine the ground turkey, minced garlic, grated parmesan cheese, salt, and black pepper.
- Use your hands or a spatula to mix the ingredients thoroughly until well combined. Be careful not to over-mix as it can make the meatballs tough.
4. Form the Meatballs:
- Using a small ice cream scoop or your hands, scoop out portions of the mixture to form meatballs. Each meatball should be about 1 to 1.5 inches in diameter.
- Roll the mixture between your palms to shape them into smooth, even meatballs.
5. Arrange and Bake:
- Place the meatballs on the prepared baking sheet, making sure to space them evenly apart.
- Bake in the preheated oven for 20-25 minutes, or until the meatballs are golden brown and cooked through. You can check for doneness by cutting one open to ensure it's no longer pink inside or using a meat thermometer (internal temperature should reach 165°F or 75°C).
6. Serve:
- Remove the meatballs from the oven and let them cool slightly before serving.
- Enjoy them hot with your choice of sauce or as is. They pair wonderfully with pasta, salad, or as a protein-packed snack.

Tips:

- Use fresh garlic and Parmesan for the best flavor. Mince the garlic finely to ensure it evenly distributes throughout the meatballs.

- Do not overmix the meat mixture, as this can make the meatballs dense. Mix until just combined.

- Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C) and bake the meatballs on a parchment-lined baking sheet for about 18-20 minutes, or until they are fully cooked and reach an internal temperature of 165°F (74°C).

- Allow the meatballs to rest for a few minutes after baking to retain their juices.

- For an extra crisp texture, you can broil the meatballs for the last 2-3 minutes of baking.

These Garlic Parmesan Turkey Meatballs are not just a flavorful and nutritious addition to your meals, but they also bring a delightful twist to classic meatballs. Once baked to perfection, they can be served with your favorite pasta, in a sub, or as an appetizer. Enjoy the burst of flavors and the satisfaction of a meal well-cooked!
