These oven-baked meatballs are fast and easy to prepare and very kid-friendly. You can serve them with pasta and spaghetti sauce or just eat them with ketchup, as my children do. Feel free to substitute lean ground beef for the ground turkey. The turkey should have at least 7% fat.

2 tablespoons olive oil
1 (20 ounce) package ground turkey
1 egg, beaten

  • Use a combination of ground beef and ground pork for the meatballs. This will give them a more flavorful and moist texture.
  • Add some bread crumbs to the meatball mixture. This will help to bind the ingredients together and prevent the meatballs from becoming too dry.
  • Season the meatballs with your favorite herbs and spices. This is a great way to add some extra flavor to the dish.
  • Brown the meatballs in a pan before baking them. This will help to seal in the flavor and prevent the meatballs from drying out.
  • Bake the meatballs in a sauce of your choice. This will help to keep them moist and flavorful.
  • Serve the meatballs over pasta, rice, or your favorite side dish.

Conclusion:

These quick and simple meatballs are a delicious and versatile dish that can be enjoyed by people of all ages. They are perfect for a weeknight meal or a special occasion. With a few simple ingredients and a little bit of time, you can create a dish that your family and friends will love.
