Ingredients

1 pound ground turkey
0.5 cup Italian-style bread crumbs
0.5 cup grated Parmesan cheese
1 egg egg
0.25 cup chopped fresh parsley
0.5 teaspoon kosher salt

Instructions

Preheat your oven to 375 degrees F (190 degrees C).
In a large bowl, gently mix together the ground turkey, Italian bread crumbs, Parmesan cheese, egg, fresh parsley, and salt. With wet hands, form the mixture into meatballs approximately 1 1/2 inches in diameter, being careful not to over-handle or pack the meat too tightly.
Place the meatballs on a baking sheet and bake in the preheated oven until nicely browned, about 20 minutes. To ensure they are cooked through, an instant-read thermometer inserted into the center of a meatball should register at least 160 degrees F (70 degrees C).
