Turkey Meatballs

  • Preheat the oven to 400F. Line a baking sheet with foil and drizzle with avocado oil.
  • Combine all the ingredients in a large bowl, and mix it together using your hands. Don’t overwork the mix; it'll make for tougher meatballs.
  • Use a ⅓ cup measuring cup to portion out the meat. Gently roll into a ball and place on the baking sheet. Repeat until you have a sheet full of meatballs.
  • Bake for about 15 to 20 minutes or until the meat is cooked through.
