Mini Turkey Meatballs (Kid Friendly Baked Recipe)
Bite size baked turkey meatballs with parmesan, garlic and Italian seasoning. Kid friendly, high protein and ready in about 25 minutes.
Ingredients
- 1 lb 98% lean ground turkey
- 1 large egg
- 1/4 cup oat flour
- 1/4 cup grated parmesan cheese
- 1 tbsp Italian seasoning
- 2 garlic cloves, minced
- 1 tsp salt
- 1/4 tsp black pepper
Instructions
- Preheat the oven. Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
- Mix the meatballs. In a large bowl, add the ground turkey, egg, oat flour, parmesan, Italian seasoning, garlic, salt and pepper. Mix with your hands until just combined.
- Roll. Scoop about 1 tablespoon of the mixture at a time and roll into small balls. Place on the baking sheet with a little space between each.
- Bake. Bake for 12 to 14 minutes, until cooked through and the internal temperature reaches 165 degrees F.
- Serve. Let cool for a couple of minutes, then serve.
Notes
Don't overmix: Mix just until combined so the meatballs stay tender.
Same size: Use a small cookie scoop so the meatballs bake evenly.
No sticking: Wet your hands with a little water before rolling.
Doneness: Check one at 12 minutes. Pull them right at 165 degrees F to keep them juicy.
Storage: Refrigerate in an airtight container for up to 5 days. Freeze for up to 3 months.
Gluten free: Use certified gluten free oat flour to keep these gluten free.
