Servings: 4

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

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.
