Ingredients

The following ingredients have 18 Servings
  • 1 cup rolled oats
  • 1/3 cup milk (any kind)
  • 1 pound lean ground turkey
  • 1/2 cup grilled onions
  • 1/4 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 1/8 teaspoon onion powder
  • 1/4 teaspoon freshly cracked black pepper
  • 1/8 teaspoon sea salt (or kosher salt)
  • 1 large egg
  • 3 tablespoons finely chopped flat-leaf parsley
  • 1 Tablespoon extra-virgin olive oil
  • 1 tablespoon tomato paste

Instruction

  • Heat oven to 400F.
  • Line a rimmed baking sheet with parchment paper, or spray lightly with non-stick cooking spray, or line with a silicone baking mat.
  • Soak oats in milk in a small bowl until softened, about 2 minutes. Squeeze oats to remove any excess liquid; discard milk.
  • Lightly beat egg in a large mixing bowl, then add turkey, onions, oats, and seasonings. Use gloved hands or a mixing spatula to incorporate all ingredients together. Use a large cookie scoop (3 Tablespoon size) or gloved hands to form 18 meatballs. Space evenly on prepared baking sheet.
  • Stir together tomato paste and olive oil and brush over meatballs. Place pan into oven and bake until meatballs are just cooked through and a food thermometer inserted into the center reads 163 degrees F., about 15 to 20 minutes.
  • Serving suggestion: Serve meatballs over rice or pasta with your favorite sauce, or alone, along with a garden salad.
