- Garlic
- 3 cloves, minced
- Breadcrumbs
- 1/2 cup
- Egg
- 1, beaten
- Parmesan cheese
- 1/4 cup, grated
- Fresh parsley
- 2 tablespoons, chopped
- Olive oil

Instructions
- In a large mixing bowl, combine the ground turkey, finely chopped onion, minced garlic, breadcrumbs, beaten egg, grated Parmesan cheese, chopped parsley, salt, and black pepper. Mix thoroughly using your hands or a spatula until well combined.
- Preheat a skillet over medium heat and add olive oil, allowing it to warm.
- Shape the turkey mixture into meatballs, about 1 inch in diameter, and place them on a plate.
- Once the oil is hot, carefully place the meatballs into the skillet, ensuring not to overcrowd them. Cook for about 8-10 minutes, turning occasionally until they are browned on all sides.
- Reduce the heat to low, cover the skillet, and let the meatballs cook for an additional 10-15 minutes, or until they are cooked through and reach an internal temperature of 165°F (74°C).
- Remove the meatballs from the skillet and let them rest for a few minutes before serving. Serve with warm marinara sauce for dipping.
Tips
- For added flavor, try mixing in some Italian herbs like oregano or basil into the meatball mixture.
- You can substitute ground turkey with ground chicken or beef if preferred.
- For a gluten-free option, use gluten-free breadcrumbs.
