Ingredients:

1/2 cup carrots
54g
1/4 cup onion
40g
2 lb ground turkey
910g
2 eggs
110g
1 tsp salt
6g
1 tsp garlic powder
3.10g

Instructions:

1. Preheat Oven:
Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or lightly grease it to prevent the meatballs from sticking.
2. Prepare Vegetables:
Finely grate the carrots and finely chop the onion. You can use a food processor to make this step quicker and ensure the pieces are very small, which helps them to blend well into the meatballs.
3. Mix Ingredients:
In a large mixing bowl, combine the ground turkey, grated carrots, chopped onion, eggs, salt, and garlic powder. Mix thoroughly until all ingredients are well combined. You can use your hands or a spoon to mix.
4. Form Meatballs:
Using your hands or a small ice cream scoop, form the mixture into meatballs about 1 to 1.5 inches in diameter. Place each meatball on the prepared baking sheet, leaving a little space between each one to ensure they cook evenly.
5. Bake:
Place the baking sheet in the preheated oven and bake for 20-25 minutes, or until the meatballs are browned and cooked through. To check doneness, cut one meatball in half to ensure there is no pink in the center, or use a meat thermometer to ensure they have reached an internal temperature of 165°F (74°C).
6. Serve:
Once cooked, remove the meatballs from the oven and let them cool slightly before serving. These turkey meatballs pair well with pasta, in a sandwich, or on their own with a dipping sauce.
7. Store:
If you have leftovers, store them in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 4 days, or freeze them for longer storage.

Tips:

- For even cooking, make sure to form the meatballs to a uniform size.

- If you prefer a finer texture, you can finely grate the carrots instead of chopping them.

- Use a cookie scoop or a small ice cream scoop to portion out the meatballs evenly.

- Feel free to add herbs like parsley, oregano, or basil to enhance the flavor.

- Line your baking sheet with parchment paper or a silicone baking mat to prevent sticking and make cleanup easier.
