In a food processor, add 1 chopped shallot and pulse to mince.

Add 1 teaspoon garlic powder, 1/4 teaspoon ground pepper, and 1/2 teaspoon salt to the minced shallot and pulse to combine.

Add 1/4 cup milk to the mixture to create a panade for moisture.

Add ground turkey to the mixture and pulse gently to combine without overprocessing.

Form the mixture into meatballs (size not specified).

Heat olive oil in a skillet over medium heat (temperature not specified).

Add meatballs to the skillet and cook until browned on all sides (time not specified).

Transfer browned meatballs to a baking dish and bake (time and temperature not specified).

In the same skillet, add white wine and lemon juice, stirring to combine.

Add capers and simmer for a few minutes.

Return meatballs to the skillet, coating them in the sauce for a few minutes before serving.
