01 Step

Recipe View Preheat your oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). While the oven heats, lightly grease a 9x13-inch baking dish with olive oil and place it in the oven to preheat as well. (Prep time: 5 minutes)

Recipe View In a large bowl, gently combine the ground turkey, Italian bread crumbs, and beaten egg. Use your hands to mix until just combined; avoid overmixing to keep the meatballs tender. (Prep time: 5 minutes)

Recipe View Using a medium ice cream scoop or your hands, form the mixture into golf ball-sized meatballs. Place the meatballs in the preheated baking dish, spacing them about 1 inch apart. Gently press down on each meatball to slightly flatten the bottom – this helps them brown evenly. (Prep time: 10 minutes)

Recipe View Serve immediately with your favorite pasta and sauce, or enjoy them plain with a side of ketchup, mustard, or any dipping sauce you prefer. (Serve time: 2 minutes)

For extra flavor, try adding a clove of minced garlic or a teaspoon of dried herbs (such as oregano or basil) to the meatball mixture.
If you don't have Italian seasoned bread crumbs, you can use plain bread crumbs and add a teaspoon of Italian seasoning.
These meatballs can be made ahead of time and stored in the refrigerator for up to 24 hours before baking. Alternatively, you can freeze them after baking for a quick and easy meal later on.

  • Monte Oconner

    I was skeptical about using ground turkey, but these meatballs were surprisingly moist and flavorful. I served them with a simple tomato sauce and spaghetti.

  • Zoila Cremin

    Great recipe for a busy weeknight! I doubled the batch and froze half for later.

  • Maurine Bartell

    These were so easy to make, and my kids loved them! I added a little grated Parmesan cheese to the mixture for extra flavor.
