Why You'll Want This Again

These meatballs are packed with rich flavors and juicy texture. They are easy to make and perfect for a quick weeknight dinner. The blend of herbs and spices adds a homemade touch that everyone will enjoy.

Cooking Secrets

- Use fresh herbs for the best taste.
- Avoid overmixing the meat to keep the meatballs tender.
- Brown the meatballs in a hot pan before baking to lock in flavor.

Step 1

Gently heat your oven to 450°F (230°C) and lightly drizzle some olive oil on a rimmed baking sheet. In a small saucepan over medium heat, warm the milk and oats together until the milk is hot but not boiling. Turn the heat down and let it simmer for about 3 to 5 minutes, until it thickens up like oatmeal. Take it off the heat and let it cool for a few minutes.

Step 2

In a big bowl, mix the turkey with the egg, Parmesan substitute, parsley, garlic powder, nutmeg, and pepper. Once the oat mixture has cooled, add it to the bowl and stir everything together well using a sturdy spoon or spatula. Shape the mixture into about 28 meatballs and place them evenly on the baking sheet.

Step 3

Pop the meatballs in the oven and bake for 25 to 30 minutes, turning them halfway through so they brown nicely on all sides and cook through. When they’re done, they should be nicely browned and ready to enjoy!

Perfect Side Pairings

Serve these meatballs with spaghetti and marinara sauce for a classic meal. They also work great as a party appetizer with toothpicks and dipping sauce. For a lighter option, pair them with a crisp green salad.

Storage Tips

Store leftover meatballs in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. To freeze, place them on a baking sheet until firm, then transfer to a freezer bag for up to 3 months. Reheat gently in the oven or microwave before serving.
