Ridiculously easy turkey meatballs ready in 30 minutes and full of flavor thanks to lots of pesto. My kids love these turkey meatballs and they’re endlessly versatile, and I love how quick and easy they are to make.
Ingredients
- 1 ½ pounds ground turkey
- 1 cup panko bread crumbs
- ½ cup basil pesto
- 2 tablespoons grated Pecorino Romano cheese
- 1 egg
- ½ teaspoon salt, or to taste
- ground black pepper to taste
Directions
Step 1
Preheat the oven to 375 degrees F (190 degrees C). Lightly grease a sheet pan.
Step 2
Combine turkey, bread crumbs, pesto, Pecorino Romano cheese, egg, salt, and pepper in a mixing bowl and mix with your hands until well combined.
Step 3
Roll mixture into small, walnut-sized meatballs. Place onto the prepared pan.
Step 4
Bake in the preheated oven until no longer pink in the centers, 20 to 25 minutes.
Cook’s Notes:
You can use grated Parmesan instead of Pecorino Romano.
