Ingredients

1 lb lean ground turkey
½ cup whole wheat breadcrumbs
1 egg
1 teaspoon kosher salt
½ teaspoon garlic powder
½ teaspoon onion powder
½ teaspoon oregano
¼ teaspoon smoked paprika
¼ teaspoon ground black pepper

Instructions

Preheat oven to 375°F and line a sheet pan with parchment paper (for easier clean up, you can bake straight on the pan, too).
To a large bowl, add ground turkey, bread crumbs, egg, and seasonings and mix just until combined. Use a small cookie scoop to scoop each meatball, then roll and place on the sheet pan.
1 lb lean ground turkey, 1/2 cup whole wheat breadcrumbs, 1 egg, 1 teaspoon kosher salt, 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder, 1/2 teaspoon onion powder, 1/2 teaspoon oregano, 1/4 teaspoon smoked paprika, 1/4 teaspoon ground black pepper
To give a little extra browning on top, lightly spray or brush avocado or olive oil on top of the meatballs before baking. Bake for 15 minutes, or until meatballs reach 165°F internal temperature.
Serve immediately or store in the fridge or freezer in an airtight container. Enjoy!

Notes

Size Note: I use a small cookie scoop to make small meatballs, as that's what my kids prefer, but you can absolutely make these into bigger meatballs and just add 2-3 minutes cooking time (temp should still be at 165 F when done).

Breadcrumb Note: You can use plain (not seasoned) breadcrumbs or gluten-free breadcrumbs, too.
