EASY 5-INGREDIENT TURKEY MEATBALL RECIPE! || FREEZER FRIENDLY || MEAL PREP

parmesan cheese

🥗Healthier: nutritional yeast

💰Cheaper: grated mozzarella

Nutritional yeast adds a cheesy flavor with fewer calories.

bread crumbs

🥗Healthier: oats

💰Cheaper: crushed crackers

Oats provide fiber and are often less expensive.

ground turkey

🥗Healthier: ground chicken

💰Cheaper: ground beef

Ground chicken is lower in fat, while ground beef may be more accessible.

egg

🥗Healthier: flaxseed meal

💰Cheaper: applesauce

Flaxseed meal serves as a binder with added nutrients.

Preheat the oven to 400 degrees.

In a large bowl, add the ground turkey, bread crumbs, egg, Italian seasoning, and salt and pepper.

Combine the meat mixture with your hands or a spoon until fully mixed.

Spray a baking sheet with cooking spray (I use an olive oil kind). Roll the meatball mixture into small equal portions. I use a small cookie scoop to make it easier; or you could use a tablespoon to help.

Space the uncooked meatballs about one inch apart. Bake for 10 minutes. If your meatballs are larger, you may need to cook for 12-14 minutes.

When they're finished, the internal temperature should read at least 165 degrees F. I use a meat thermometer for this.

Store any leftovers in an airtight container in the fridge for 3-5 days.
