Ingredients

• 1 pound ground turkey
• 1 large egg, lightly beaten
• 1 tablespoon parsley flakes
• coarsely ground black pepper to taste
• 2 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil, or more as needed
• 0.5 teaspoon garlic powder

Recipe Instructions

Step 1

Preheat the oven to 450 degrees F (230 degrees C). Drizzle olive oil over a rimmed baking sheet.

Step 2

Combine milk and oats in a small saucepan over medium heat. Cook until milk is very hot, but not boiling. Reduce heat and simmer until mixture is the consistency of oatmeal, 3 to 5 minutes. Remove from heat and let cool for 5 minutes.

Step 3

Combine turkey, egg, Parmesan cheese substitute, parsley, garlic powder, nutmeg, and pepper in a large bowl. Add cooled oatmeal mixture. Stir with a sturdy spoon or spatula until well combined. Form into 28 meatballs and arrange on the prepared baking sheet.

Step 4

Bake in the preheated oven, turning halfway, until cooked through and evenly browned, 25 to 30 minutes.
