Savory Onion and Garlic Turkey Meatballs

Ingredients

Ground turkey

1 pound

Onion

1 medium, finely chopped

Garlic

3 cloves, minced

Breadcrumbs

1/2 cup

Egg

1, beaten

Parmesan cheese

1/4 cup, grated

Fresh parsley

2 tablespoons, chopped

Olive oil

2 tablespoons

Salt

1 teaspoon

Black pepper

1/2 teaspoon

Marinara sauce

1 cup, for serving

Instructions

1. 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.
2. Preheat a skillet over medium heat and add olive oil, allowing it to warm.
3. Shape the turkey mixture into meatballs, about 1 inch in diameter, and place them on a plate.
4. 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.
5. 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).
6. Remove the meatballs from the skillet and let them rest for a few minutes before serving. Serve with warm marinara sauce for dipping.
