ground turkey, bread crumbs, onion, parsley, eggs, garlic, Worcestershire sauce, basil, oregano, salt, and pepper.\u00a0\u2028<br \/>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).\u2028<br \/>To bake the meatballs:<br \/>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.\u2028<br \/>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).\u2028<\/p><\/ol>\t<\/div>\n\t<div class=\"mv-create-notes mv-create-notes-slot-v2\">\n\t\t<h3 class=\"mv-create-notes-title mv-create-title-secondary\">Notes<\/h3>\n\t\t<div class=\"mv-create-notes-content\">\n\t\t\t<p><p>All ingredients have been increased proportionally from the original 2-pound recipe.<br \/>Tip: If you&#x27;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\u00b0F.<br \/><br \/>Mix all ingredients and make meatballs.
