Turkey Meatballs

Ingredients

3 lb ground turkey
1 1/2 cups bread crumbs, panko, or rolled oats
1 cup minced onion
3/4 cup minced fresh parsley
3 large eggs
1/2 tsp garlic powder
1 tablespoon Worcestershire sauce
3/4 teaspoon dried basil
3/4 teaspoon dried oregano
1 1/2 teaspoons salt
3/4 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper

Instructions

In a large bowl, combine ground turkey, bread crumbs, onion, parsley, eggs, garlic, Worcestershire sauce, basil, oregano, salt, and pepper.  
Using a strong spatula or your hands (I like to wear latex gloves), mix well. Shape the mixture into 1-inch balls (you should have around 48 total). 
To bake the meatballs:
Preheat oven to 400 degrees. Line a rimmed baking sheet with foil for easy cleanup. Coat a wire rack with nonstick spray and set on prepared baking sheet. 
Arrange meatballs on rack, brush with oil, and bake until browned with crispy edges, about 15 to 20 minutes (an internal thermometer should read 165 degrees for 15 seconds). 

Notes

All ingredients have been increased proportionally from the original 2-pound recipe.
Tip: If you're making turkey meatloaf or meatballs, I recommend panko rather than rolled oats for a lighter, more tender texture. Cook ground turkey to an internal temperature of 165°F.

Mix all ingredients and make meatballs. Bake at 400F until 165F internal temp.
